25 Star Wars food ideas
1. Baby Yoda sandwich
2. Bantha cocoa
Blue bantha milk is all well and good, but bantha cocoa is even better. This recipe is made with white chocolate to make the colour really bright. Get the recipe: Totally The Bomb
3. Sarlacc bundt cake
Caramel bundt cake meets Biscoff crumbs meets salted caramel in this delicious creature-themed bake. Believe it or not, his teeth are made from buttercream... Get the recipe: Yummy Crumble
4. Chewbacca breakfast
5. Boba Fett-uccine
6. Carbonite jelly
All you need is a Han Solo figurine and some jelly cubes for this brilliant idea. Of course, real carbonite is grey, but we think the orange jelly is far more appealing... See more: The Chive
7. Chewie noodles
It's not all cakes and sweet treats (although we're not going to pretend that they're not our favourites... ) This healthy soba-noodle Chewie is just the thing for a Wookie lover's dinner. Get the recipe: Disposable Aardvarks Inc

These shaped brownies are perfect for recreating Jawa's hooded silhouette. The added twist? A dash of peppermint. Get the recipe: Yummy Crumble
14. Star Wars macaroons
Macaroons are one of the more advanced Star Wars bakes, but the icing is surprisingly simple - all you need is a slim icing nozzle and a steady hand. Get the recipe: Semi Sweet Designs
15. Obi-Wan Kabab-ies
The maker of these kebabs has gone for just watermelon, but you could mix up your Obi-Wan Kabab-ies with any kind of fruit (or veggies) that you like. Print the label: All Things With Purpose

Two ingredients and an edible food pen is all you need to make these mini Stormtrooper snacks. Turns out pretzel knots are the exact helmet shape - who knew? Get the recipe: The Scrapshoppe Blog

No Star Wars gathering is complete without something to wash the food down with. Yoda soda. Add food colouring to lemonade or Sprite, or use a colourful punch. Get the recipe: Purple Patch Parties

25. Ewok granola bars
Tootsie rolls and two types of chocolate mean that these granola bars aren't exactly a healthy breakfast option, but they're a delicious sweet treat for very important occasions, like May the 4th. Get the recipe: Redefined Mom.
