Rice of the Krispies: A New Treat

Gabriel asked for Rice Krispie snacks for his birthday cake this year. Instead of molding the treats into boring squares, we decided to build a Death Star looming over characters from Star Wars (Darth Vader, Stormtroopers, and Ewoks).

Ingredients

  • 18 cups of Rice Krispies
  • 120 marshmallows
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 11/2 tablespoons of vanilla

For the Ewoks:

  • 1 Aero chocolate bar (for the light fur)
  • A few squares of dark chocolate (to mold the face and ears)
