Vegan melting wafers?

Hey folks!
I am desperately intrigued by this recipe, as it combines two of my most favorite things; dessert and sushi!

However, the only place I know to get melting wafers in my metropolis is my local Bulk Barn. Sadly a look at their website shows that their wafers have milk products, as do the Make N Mould variety. I don't know if there is another brand I should look to, or if I should try making something from scratch to dip my ''sushi'' in, but I figured I would send out my question to the universe and see what y'all think!
Thanks so much!

    It looks like Pangea has them:

    as so does Vegan Essentials:

    I also have a recipe for White Chocolate here:

    But it turns out a little on the grainy side because I haven't splurged and bought a $430 Melanger to make sure the sugar and soy milk particles are undetectable on the palate. It would be lots cheaper to go with the chips above;)

    That sushi cake truffle recipe looks amazing! Let me know you get it to work out!

    Although I suppose I *could* just buy some vegan white chocolate chips, melt them and color them red and orange.. Its good to know for future reference though, I guess.
