Abstract
A food product comprising a plurality of preformed discrete wafers being selectively assembled by the consumer into a multi-layer cookie or snack having desired layers of edible food product such as a potato chip or corn chip, etc. with one or more selectable intermediate layer(s) or filler substances such as chocolate, peanut butter spread, etc. disposed between the outer cookie/chip layers. The preformed and packaged layers enable the snack food item to be selectively assembled and arranged by the consumers to suit his/her individual taste and to enable the consumers to experiment with multiple sandwich/cookie constituent ingredient combinations/arrangements.

- whereby one or more of said cookies and/or marshmallow wafers and/or filler wafers being consumer multilayered into one or more individualized snack food sandwiches, and
- whereby each respective piece of candy being manipulable into a similarly shaped candy receiving hole.
A process of producing an improved multilayered sandwich food product suitable for being packaged and shipped to retail stores substantially without degradation of the distinctive flavors and/or textures of the constituent components and for enabling many combinations of selected preformed wafer shaped food items, consisting of the steps of:
- providing a compartmentalized box shape container;
- inserting a plurality of cookies and/or crackers and/or crispy chips from the group consisting of potato chips, corn chips, rice cakes, oat crackers and wheat crackers into selected compartments within said container;

- inserting said intermediate filler food wafer products into selected compartments within said container;
- providing a hermetically sealed packaging about said container.
A multi-wafered snack food product being consumer selectively assembled of one or more different compilations of multilayered wafers into a sandwiched food product consisting of:
- one or more discrete cookies (11);
- one or more filler wafers having indicia thereon comprising a predetermined word;
- one or more marshmallow wafers dimensioned and shaped to have one or more wall portions (81,82,83,84) defining one or more candy receiving holes each having a predetermined configuration;
