Place approximately 1 tsp of caramel on the back of a vanilla wafer, place cookie stick into caramel, top with additional vanilla wafer, lightly press together.

Place on wax paper and decorate with sprinkles and valentine candies.

Allow to cool.

If desired melt red chocolate disks according to package, drizzle with a fork over desired suckers.
