Note 1: If you do not use a microwave, use a small saucepan over medium heat to melt the caramel in the heavy cream. 
Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight covered container for up to 3-5 days.
Variations: Use graham crackers instead of vanilla wafers.
If you prefer easy decorating, drizzle the chocolate on the top of the cake.
