Dessert Base
Mix chopped chocolate wafers with a pinch of salt and 1 Tbsp butter. Mix until incorporated and equally divide between glasses. Press cookie mixture down in glass. Place glasses on baking sheet and set aside.
Place next 6 ingredients into saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk until incorporated, and once liquid base is warm, add chocolate. Constantly whisk until thick and shiny. Add butter and strain into a large, pourable container. Divide hot mixture equally between glasses, and place in freezer to set up.
