How to Make Fudge and Cookies from Clay
Never use household knives or other kitchen implements when working with clay.
Always keep your clay instruments separate from food preparation areas.

For this project you will need:

Clay such as Sculpy or Fimo
Sharp knife (dedicated to clay only)
Aluminum foil
dowel or other round object for rolling clay (dedicated to clay only)


Top on sheet--Hershey's Kiss Cookies. Bottom: Date-nut Pinwheel Cookies

Clay needed:
Dark brown and white for fudge
Tan and dark brown for cookies
or whatever color for whatever kind of cookies you want!

 

Date-Nut Pinwheel Cookies

 

 Roll out the tan and dark brown clay.

 

 Place the dark brown on top of the tan, and roll together. Roll on the work surface into a tube until the desired thickness is achieved, being careful not to press much or roll too long, and blurring the colors together.

Cut into desired sizes with a sharp knife.

Place onto aluminum foil.
Bake according to the directions on the clay you use.

 

For the Hershey's Kiss cookies, use the tan to make a small ball, flatten slightly, and add a smaller ball on the top made of dark brown clay. Flatten slightly to give it a 'melted' look.

 

 

Chocolate Fudge with White Chocolate Drizzle

 

 Roll out brown clay to about 1/8th inch thick, or desired fudge thickness.

 

 Trim edges to make a rectangle.
Roll some white clay into a long 'string' and 'drizzle' it across the top of the fudge.

 

Cut into fudge-shaped pieces.

Place onto aluminum foil.
Bake according to the directions on the clay you use.
