Day 11 Star Wars Peeps Pops #12daysofStarWars



I think you guys probably know my slight obsession with Marshmallow Peeps right? So it probably won't surprise you that they are the canvas for my next treat.

Day 11 of #12daysofStarWars

Star Wars Bunny Peeps Pops!


For these treats I went with my favorite trio of pals that have stood the test of time through all the Star Wars movies! I'm guessing we'll be seeing them in The Force Awakens too.


This is not my first time at the Star Wars Peeps pops show.  Awhile back I did some Troopers too.  I always have fun making them and they always make my kids smile.  (If you search Peeps pops on the blog you'll see all the versions over the years)


OK we are getting close people! Tomorrow night everyone starts seeing the movie at The Force Awakens midnight shows.  Gotta try to avoid all social media and reviews until we see it on the weekend!

Stop back tomorrow for one last new Star Wars treat or follow along on Facebook, Instagram and/or Twitter! #12daysofStarWars @sugarswings

  5. Use edible food writer to add smaller details.

Day 9 Star Wars Mickey Ear Cookie Pops #12daysofStarWars


Well we're onto the week of The Force Awakens!  Did you see the red carpet at the LA premiere today? I'm watching some on Periscope and it looks pretty insane.  Harrison Ford walked by and waved.  Did you know he's 73?? 73!!  I can only imagine what the official opening nite will be like.  (Must stay off of social media until we see the movie - on the 20th!)

And here we go onto the 9TH DAY OF STAR WARS

Mickey Ears Star Wars Cookies/Cookie Pops!  

It's seems appropriate to mashup Disney and Star Wars into these cookies.  Ever since Disney bought the SW franchise you see SW themed everything.  It's almost a little ridiculous the amount of SW merch available.  Almost.  I figured Mickey ear cookies would make the most sense.


They are even no bake and start with store bought cookies to speed making them up.  These little chocolate chip cookies worked great.  Use a large icing tip to cut away a small edge of 2 cookies.  Then fit the cookies together like Mickey ears and "glue" together with melted chocolate.  They come together very quickly.


Most of the time is spent on the rest of the detail which is done with various colors of candy melting wafers (my most favorite kitchen supply!).  You can decorate and share as is or use more melted chocolate to add sticks to make cookie pops.


Either way they are super fun!

From top clockwise: Boba Fett, Yoda, Darth Vader, Death Star, Rebel Pilot, Chewbacca, R2D2, C3PO
Are you sick of all the SW posts yet??? Well I hope not since there are 3 more days to go!

How To Mickey Ears Star Wars Cookies 

Ingredients:
  • Store bought small chocolate chip cookies (or any flavor would work)
  • 1 cup of chocolate chips
  • Various colors of candy melting wafers
Directions:
  1. You will need 3 cookies per Mickey ear cookie (or cookie pop).  Use a large icing tip to cut away a small edge of 2 cookies.  Then fit the cookies together like Mickey ears and "glue" with melted chocolate.  
  2. If making cookie pops, flip cookie over and add melted chocolate to center of cookie.  Insert stick and let harden 15 minutes.
  3. Once chocolate is hardened (10-15 minutes) add other detail with colors of melting wafers.  Add about 1/2 cup of wafers to a quart sized freezer bag, microwave in 20 second intervals until candy is melted  (usually 3-4 intervals depending on microwave).  Snip a small corner and "pipe" the candy. Use photos as a guide.  Let one layer harden completely before adding any candy on top.
