Make these cute and spooky Cookies 'n Cream Fudge Tombstones for any Halloween occasion! Customize your stones with a punny saying that will have everyone rolling in their graves!

I bet at least a few of you figured I’d make these Cookies ‘n Cream Fudge Tombstones for Halloween. After I used cookie filled white chocolate fudge to create Edible Garden Stones for Mother’s Day, Candy Rocks for Father’s Day, and Sweet Serenity Stones for any day, I couldn’t resist making these edible gravestones for Halloween.I can’t wait to share them with my friends at our zombie-themed Halloween party this year.

I will probably create an entire graveyard scene like I have pictured above to display some of my tombstones, then I’ll place a nice variety of small tombstones on a tray to be sure my guests know they are made of candy.

At the end of the evening, if there are still tombstones in my graveyard, I’ll package them up in some cellophane bags and pass them out to my guest.

To create my scene, I used green colored coconut for the grass and cookie crumbs for the dirt. The hands were sculpted out of modeling chocolate.

Individual fudge tombstones would make great place settings for a Halloween dinner party and smaller tombstones would make perfect toppers for cupcakes. They could even be used for an Over the Hill birthday party.

Making the cookies ‘n cream fudge for this project is quick and easy and turning the fudge into tombstones is equally simple if you have a variety of cookie cutters, but if you don’t, you can just cut out your shapes using a knife.

The most time-consuming part of this project is arranging the letters that will be stamped onto each grave marker, but it is so worth it; having unique epitaphs on each stone really makes them more interesting.

Cookies ‘n Cream Fudge Tombstones

Ingredients:

1 batch of  Cookies ‘n Cream Fudge (click here for the recipe)

optional:

 grass: green colored coconut (Put coconut in a zip-top bag, add green food coloring, close bag, and shake.)
dirt: chocolate cookie crumbs

 hands: flesh-colored modeling chocolate or fondant (recipe here)

*This will create tombstones that are about 1/2″ to 3/4″ thick. If you want tombstones for cupcake toppers, pour the fudge into a larger pan so you can make them thinner.

Supplies:

tombstone shaped cookie cutters in various sizes

letter stamps (see Amazon.com links at bottom of post)

9″ round or square baking pan lined with non-stick aluminum foil or parchment paper*

cutting board

  • Make one batch of cookies ‘n cream fudge (recipe here,) and follow the directions to create a large round or square stone using a non-stick tin foil-lined pan.

  • Set on cutting board.

  • Use tombstone shaped cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the fudge.
  • Take scraps of fudge and smash them into a ball. Flatten the fudge to about the same thickness you just cut through.
  • Cut out more shapes. Repeat until you’d used all of your fudge.
  • Use garden stone stamps, a clay embossing set featuring alphabet stamps, or any rubber alphabet stamps that fit to create funny epitaphs for each candy tombstone.
  • Simply press them into the fudge and remove it.

The epitaphs I used on my edible tombstones:

Diane T. Meacha (dying to meet ya)

Barry D. Alive (buried alive)

Al B. Back (I’ll be back)

Doug T. Deep (dug too deep)

Tom T. Go (time to go)

Ima Goner (I’m a goner)

Ben Ill (been ill)

Ule B. Next (you’ll be next)

Store your fudge tombstones in an airtight container for up to several weeks.

    My daughter and her best friend (both 9) will be making these, and shaping modeling chocolate, to decorate a graveyard cake. They’re out of their minds with excitement, and will spend the week trying to think of good epitaphs!

    Thanks: this stone-appearance fudge is perfect.
