Try Andes mint candies. They work great in this recipe.

I need help! Want to make these cookies and have had no luck finding chocolate mint wafer candies. I remember that Rockwoods made them years and years ago, then found and purchased them as UFO's at Trader Joes (manufactured by Ghirardelli). They are no longer available there, nor does Ghirardelli make them. I had used a recipe with the same name as yours, and the cookies were WONDERFUL!!! Help if you can, please. Now have Great-Grandchildren who would devour these cookies...
