Biscuits and wafers differ mainly in structure and texture: biscuits are generally made from shaped dough, while wafers use very thin, crisp sheets arranged in layers.
The biggest distinction is the base structure: a biscuit is generally baked from dough, while a wafer is made from thin crisp layers.
Fillings and coatings can be used with either category, so appearance alone does not always tell the full story.
Texture, ingredients, serving size and personal preference are practical points to compare when choosing between them.
