Darth Cheese Ball & Star Wars Pops

We are on day 6 of our Star Wars party food ideas for this year and today we are sharing our Darth Vader Cheese Ball and Star Wars Pops!  These were last minute ideas, but turned out pretty cute and easy to make! 

To make the Darth Cheese Ball we started out by crushing a hand full of blue chips.  You can make any cheese ball.  We made a Ranch cheese ball by mixing 2 packages of cream cheese, a packet of ranch dressing mix, & 2 cups of colby cheese. We shaped that into Darth Vader's head on the plate.  Place some wax paper down on the plate before you shape the head.  That way it will catch the crumbs, etc.. Take your crushed chips and press around the head using more on the front.  Cut some black olives to make the face and place chips around the top, back, and sides.

Here is a close up...

We made these super easy Star Wars Pops by using Jumbo Marshmallows, Star Wars Fruit Roll Ups, Strawberry Fruit Roll Ups, and Lollipop Sticks.

Start out by cutting the Star Wars Fruit Roll Ups in half like this...

Place the marshmallow on a regular strawberry Fruit Roll Up.  Cut out a circle leaving just a little to lay around the edges.  Place the on top of the marshmallow and then wrap aorund the Star Wars Fruit Roll half.  Press the edges...they will stick.  Then poke through the lollipop stick.

You can make these several days ahead to save you time. Store them by using the fruit roll wrappers and place on wax paper.  Pop them in the fridge a couple of hours before the party to make sure nothing sticks.  Ours pops right off and worked out great!

C3P"Oreos"



We are on day 5 of our Star Wars goodies and will be sharing the rest of our Star Wars party food this upcoming week.  We will have everything in one post by the end of the week linking to the how tos.  We made C3PO out of Oreos and called them C3P"Oreos".  The kids really liked this one!

We decided to put ours on pops, but you could just leave them as is.  We started out by melting yellow candy melts (you can get them at Michaels, Walmart, etc...).  We opened up the Oreos. We dipped the tip of the lollipop stick in the candy melts and then pressed in the middle of the oreo.  Put the top Oreo cookie on and let dry.  When dry then dip them in the candy melts and place on wax paper to dry. 

We premade the eyes by cutting a caramel bit in half and pressing into shape with our fingers. We then pressed a black round candy in the middle. You could also use a mini chocolate chip.  The carmel bits are made by Kraft and look like this...

Here are the eyes before we put them on...

Press on the eyes while the candy melts are still soft so they sink in just a bit.  Let that set.  Then melt the reserved candy melts and scoop in a bag (or baggie) to pipe on the details.  We used black cookie frosting to make the mouth.

Jabba The Hummus

We are on day 4 of our Star Wars party food that we will be sharing for the next 2 weeks.  We made Jabba out of hummus and called him Jabba the Hummus.  We were a bit short on time so we purchased premade hummus and shaped Jabba out of that.  We added the face, arms, etc... details by putting some of the hummus in a baggie.  Snip off the corner and pipe everything on. We also used a tooth pick to make the nose and mouth.  We sprinkled cumin in between his rolls to make it show up a more.  The eyes are cut from a red pepper and a black olive using kitchen scissors. 

We served with Padawan Pitas...

The kids thought this was very cool and it's really easy to make!  Here is a close up...

Jawa Jigglers

We are on Day 3 of our 2 weeks of Star Wars! We came up with these Jawa Jigglers for my 6 year olds Star Wars birthday party. I figured that most kids love jello jigglers and thought that making them look like Jawa's would be really cute. You will also love how easy these are to make. Will take you about 15 minutes and can be made a few days ahead for a party.

We started out by making the jello jigglers using the recipe off of the Kraft site...

what you need

2-1/2cups boiling water (Do not add cold water.)

2pkg. (8-serving size each) JELL-O Gelatin, We used Straberry and Lime to make the brown color.

STIR boiling water into dry gelatin mix in large bowl at least 3 min. until completely dissolved. Pour into (we lightly sprayed ours with pam) 13x9-inch pan.

REFRIGERATE at least 3 hours or until firm.

After it is firm we cut out our Jawa shapes using a Gingerbread Girl cookie cutter like this...

We then cut the top rounded side off to make the head look more pointed like a robe (please excuse my blurry pictures..I was working fast and in a hurry)...

We then cut out the face using a frosting tip. Flip the Jawa on the back side before cutting it out. That way the smaller opening will be in the front...

We then cut the tips off of dark grapes and placed the jigglers on top..they will pop right in..

We had some round flat white sprinkles that we pressed on for eyes. You could also just use frosting.

That's it and the kids will love it!
