      Is it only half a package of fudge stripe cookies because part of the process is eating the other half?

        The other half of the package is for decoration on the top. You break the cookies in half and try to put them in a decorative manner.

        If you really hate yourself, you could swap it out with plain Greek yogurt. It wouldn’t be good, but you could do it.
