Make the coffee buttercream:

- Add in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, espresso powder and mix until combined.
- If the buttercream is too warm, place it into the fridge for a few minutes to firm up.

Assemble:
- Take about 1 teaspoon of coffee buttercream and spread it evenly with an offset spatula the vanilla wafer.
- Place another vanilla wafer on top and repeat with the remainder.
- Place the tray into the fridge for 5-10 minutes, for the buttercream to set.
Enrobe:
- Add the chopped dark chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second increments, stirring in between until chocolate is shiny and completely melted.
- Pour about ½ tablespoon of dark chocolate on the surface of the vanilla wafer and use an offset spatula to smooth it out.
- Repeat with the remaining wafers.
- Pop the tray back into the fridge and wait for the chocolate to set, about 5-10 minutes.
- Once the chocolate has set, flip the wafer upside down with the chocolate side down and the vanilla wafer side up.
- Pour a little chocolate over (about 1 Tbsp) the vanilla wafer and use the offset spatula to evenly coat the entire surface and sides of the bar.
- Repeat with the remainder.
- Pop the tray back into the fridge for another 10 minutes for the chocolate to set.
- Enjoy!
