The term chocolate wafer covers a wide variety of different cookies, or biscuits as they are also called. These do, of course, have something in common - they all should contain chocolate and wafers.
Wafers, when it comes to cookies, are very thin, flat, dry and light biscuits, that are also usually sweet. When wafers are used in other cookies, they can be stacked to make a thicker cookie. Chocolate wafers are a variant of these that are often quite light, chocolate-covered, biscuits that are frequently available in a stick form. As such, they are often a popular biscuit for eating with coffee.
Sticks are not the only shape, though. You can also find thin wafers, bars and more traditionally rotund shaped biscuits. One of the most popular chocolate wafer biscuits in the UK is the Kit Kat, which was produced by Rowntree's and later Nestlé, after the latter company purchased the former. An alternative to a chocolate-covered wafer would be one where the chocolate has been sandwiched between two wafers.
