 Edible Rock Fudge 
INGREDIENTS​:
  • 16 oz/450g of white chocolate chips or bars broken into pieces
  • 14 oz/420g can of sweetened condensed milk
  • Crushed Oreos or chocolate wafers
  • ¼ teaspoon (or more) Cocoa Powder
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Over low heat, gently heat white chocolate and sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan stirring occasionally until completely melted and combined.
  2. Add about 1 tablespoon of crushed Oreos or chocolate wafer and stir to combine.
  3. Separate mixture into three bowls.
  4. Leave one bowl as is, mix in cocoa powder to another and add additional crushed Oreos or chocolate wafer to the third — creating three different “rock” colours. Adjust as necessary.
  5. Let cool to room temperature or put in the refrigerator until the mixture is no longer sticky and has solidified enough to be molded.
  6. Scoop mixture and mold into rock shapes, adding additional colors to create multi-coloured rocks.
 Edible Moss 
INGREDIENTS​:
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons liquid honey or agave
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • Green Gel food coloring
  • ¼ cup/32g flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
DIRECTIONS:
  1. In a medium microwave-safe glass bowl beat eggs, sugar, liquid honey, extract and food coloring with a hand mixer until light and foamy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Gradually sift in flour and baking powder and mix again just to combine.
  3. Microwave on high for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Remove, let cool and tear to create moss pieces.
  4. Repeat if more moss is needed to cover cake!

Note: Microwave honey for about 10 seconds to get a pourable consistency to get liquid honey.
