Cookies and Cream Fudge Edible Garden Stone

April 20, 2020 by Julie 1 Comment

Make Mom an Edible Garden Stone using Cookies and Cream Fudge!

We have probably all seen the plaster handprints that you can make Mom for Mother’s Day. This takes that idea, but transforms it into an edible garden stone instead.

Making fudge with my Nana was one of my favorite holiday activities. While she primarily made chocolate fudge, I am a fan of many different kinds of fudge. Including cookies and cream fudge. How handy then, that cookies and cream fudge looks very similar to concrete.

The recipe for cookies and cream fudge is fairly simple, combine white chocolate (I used almond bark) with sweetened condensed milk, a dash of salt, and some vanilla. Then, when that it all melted and combined, stir in some crushed chocolate sandwich cookies.

When that is ready you pour it into a prepared round pan, a cake pan would be perfect. I lined mine with parchment paper, but foil would work as well. The fudge will need to sit for about 45 minutes before it is ready to make your hand imprint. While I waited I decorated mine with colored candies in a pattern around edge.

I had a vision of layering the kids handprints, largest to smallest, in my garden stone. But it didn’t really work out. You can see the largest handprint and then vaguely the smallest one. I suppose it’s the thought that counts for that idea.

I used a wooden skewer to write a message in our fudge garden stone after the kids had helped me with the handprint. (I did make sure they washed their hands first.) Then I put the fudge in the refrigerator to help it get firm.
