These Sweet Serenity Stones are the perfect treat to make and give to the special people in your life! They are delicious and unique, the best part of any gift you give!
Just a few days ago I shared with you a recipe to make cookies ‘n cream fudge rocks for a fun Father’s Day project. While I was creating my sweet stones, this idea popped into my head and I just had to share it. I know this is the third edible rock recipe to grace these pages in the past month and some of you may be saying, “enough already,” but I think this one is really great and worth sharing. I promise I’m done with this idea, for a while anyway!
I had just purchased some stone stamps last week, not really knowing what I’d do with them, but figured sooner or later, I’d have the perfect project idea. These plastic letter stamps can be used to make garden stones or used in any type of clay including the chocolate variety. After I made my stone mountain the other day, I pulled out the stamps and tried them out in my fudge rocks. They worked perfectly. I reworked my original mountain of rocks into 11 large rocks for this project. Then I spent less than ten minutes adding a nice variety of inspirational sayings.
These stones look and feel like the real deal, but taste divine!

Sweet Serenity Stones (makes 10-12)
You’ll need:
1 batch of cookies ‘n cream fudge stones (find recipe here)
1 set of Victorian Style Letter Stone Stamps
Roll your cookies ‘n cream fudge into various shapes and sizes. You’ll need your edible rocks to be large enough to stamp out your inspirational phrases.
Press the stamps into the candy stones creating whatever sayings you’d like. You may have to hold the fudge as you pull up the stamp so you don’t distort your letters.
Just a note – you can see that the stamps have letters or numbers on both sides. I pressed the “Y” into the stone which featured the word, “JOY,” but you are seeing the “A” that is on the back side of the stamp.
That’s it. You are done! Super easy, isn’t it?
Wow! That is totally original! Awesome!
I've never said this before in my life… I want to eat these rocks. You, my friend, are brilliant!
I featured you on Momcaster today: http://momcaster.com/2012/06/11/oreo-recipes-desserts.

It’s a Wrap Link Party at Artful Rising
PERFECTION and so fun!!!
Very, VERY, clever! Pinning, featuring and just loving in general 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing at Mom On Timeout!
I'm so happy to see how much you love this idea. I do too! Thanks for sharing it everywhere:)
Wow! Those are amazing. They look so much like the real thing.
These are so cute! I think it would be neat to make a small edible zen garden.
I made the rock fudge for Fathers Day {and my brother-in-law's birthday}! It was a HUGE hit! He is a rock fanatic! lol. Now I want to do these for our ladies at church!! This is perfect! Awesome. 🙂
So happy to hear it! I'm glad everyone enjoyed the rocks.
This was one of the best projects I have run across will be making them. Thanks cheryl
Can you make the rocks ahead of time and then stamp into later? Think this would be a great project to do with my kids yoga class!

Hi, can you do this ahead of time and then stamp the letters in a day later?
I suggest you stamp them the day you shape them into rocks as the fudge will harden as it sits, but I don't see why it wouldn't work a day later. You just might see more cracking around the letters. To keep the fudge soft, store it in an airtight container. That should help.
Sorry but this is nonsense…I came here to learn about how to make the stones now how to stamp things into them like a five year old! Annoying.
I've used this fudge rock recipe several times to make different projects and always just link to the recipe instead of repeating it. The recipe is here – https://hungryhappenings.com/2012/06/my-dad-rocks-edible-fudge-rocks-for.html
Hi Beth, I want to hand write words onto the rocks but I am finding them too soft? It's almost like working with play dough…Amy advie on how to make them"hard" like rocks?
Hi Jennifer, yes these "rocks" being made of fudge are going to be reasonably soft and pliable which makes them easy to stamp. They will stiffen up as they dry in the air. If you want them to be hard you can just let them sit out on the counter for a day or two and the outside will crust over. You can also freeze them and pop them out, write on them, then allow them to thaw.
Thank you for this wonderful idea! I'm using these for my daughter's spa themed birthday party. Mine don't look as pretty as yours, but i think they turned out okay. You are so creative!!!!!!
Hi Teinika,
I'm so happy to hear you made these for your daughter's party. I'm sure they look great and that the guests will love them =)
Hello Beth, beautiful idea.
Where can I get the letter stamps, want to make it for a spa party at the school. Thanks
Thanks, Dean. There is a link at the end of the post to buy the stamps on Amazon. You can also find them in the clay aisle in a craft store.
These are adorable!!!! I’m teaching my toddler the fruit of the spirit; love, joy, peace, patience,kindness etc. and this would be perfect to do together! Any idea what I can use for an allergy friendly rock? Cookie or fudge? Gluten, dairy, egg, corn, and soy free, basically Paleo if possible. Thank you!
Hi Rhianon, I’m so sorry, but I really don’t have any experience with ingredients that meet your dietary needs. I don’t want to give you misinformation. I hope you find a way to make them. They would be a fun craft to do together.
Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!
I was looking for something to add “happy birthday” to my daughters fossil birthday cake. This is perfect.
I’m glad these fudge rocks worked out for you! I hope your daughter loved her cake.
