Okay, so I finally tried these Happy Belly Mini Vanilla Wafers from Amazon, and here's the tea...

First off, the price is a major win. For an 11-ounce box, they're way cheaper than name brands like Nabisco Nilla. I was skeptical at first because, you know, store brands can be hit or miss.

The taste? Surprisingly decent! They have a subtle vanilla flavor—not as strong as Nilla Wafers, but good enough for snacking or tossing into desserts. My kids devoured them during movie night, and I didn’t feel guilty about the price tag.

BUT... packaging is a gamble. Some reviewers got crushed boxes (thanks, bubble mailers?), while mine arrived intact. If you're ordering for a recipe (like rum balls), maybe stick to name brands—these didn’t absorb liquids well according to one frustrated baker.

Verdict: Solid for casual munching if you’re on a budget, but don’t expect gourmet vanilla bliss. And maybe cross your fingers for undamaged delivery!
