Make These Star Wars Recipes, You Must

And may the fourth be with you.

Are you celebrating May the Fourth this year? This date has become a sacred occasion for Jedi and Sith alike, honoring the epic saga and, of course, the Force. Beyond donning robes and wielding lightsabers to observe the day, you can also indulge your inner galactic chef this Star Wars Day with a host of Star Wars recipes. Whether you're craving a Wookiee-sized feast or droid-inspired desserts, there's a Star Wars-themed snack on this list sure to satisfy appetites across the galaxy.

When I was a little girl, I wanted so badly to be Princess Leia. Did I hold up giant cinnamon rolls on either side of my head to imitate the beloved heroine at family breakfasts? You bet yourself a glass of blue milk I did! Now that I have my own little Ewoks to take care of, feeding a house full of Star Wars fans is a job I wish I could outsource to a galaxy far, far away. But, the one thing I actually don’t mind doing is whipping up a batch of themed food for a party or really any type of celebration — and May 4 totally counts. Plus, these Star Wars recipes are so good, they’d make C3P0 malfunction with glee. (And he can’t even eat.)

BB8 Cupcakes

If there’s anything that can get a fan to switch allegiances to the Dark Side, it’s these Death Star Oreo truffles from Tastefully Frugal. Packed with chocolatey goodness, this recipe is one of the sweetest ways to pay homage to the Galactic Empire’s strongest weapon. (Before you blow it up from the inside, of course.)

Poe’s Jacket Cookies

Is there a bigger pop culture symbol of the most recent installments of the Star Wars movies than Poe Dameron’s jacket? You can celebrate the pilot’s heroic role in the films right in your own kitchen when you make Poe’s Jacket Cookies from Baking Mischief.

Frosty Bantha Milk

You may recognize Bantha milk aka “blue milk” as the drink Luke and his aunt and uncle have in A New Hope, or perhaps you’ve had some yourself at Galaxy’s Edge in the Disney parks. It’s an iconic Star Wars beverage you can recreate at home using this recipe for Frosty Bantha milk from Baking Mischief. A scoop of vanilla ice cream makes this concoction float-like; a sweet treat that any fan is sure to enjoy.

R2D2 Treats

In tribute to Luke’s OG droid and BFF, these R2D2 treats from A Sparkle Of Genius are absolutely precious. They’re ding dongs dipped in a confectionery concoction of powdered sugar and egg whites with perfectly piped icing on top to recreate the look of R2D2’s facade.

White Hot Chocolate With Stormtrooper Marshmallows

Can’t you just picture yourself sipping from a mug full of white hot chocolate with Stormtrooper marshmallows, snuggled up on the couch with your Baby Yoda throw blanket and C3PO slippers, watching The Empire Strikes Back for the 59th time? Thanks to this Star Wars recipe from The Cookie Rookie, you can do just that the next time the mood to re-watch (arguably) the best film in the franchise strikes.

Han Salsa

I’m a sucker for some salsa, but a salsa with a punny Star Wars name, well, that’s just downright irresistible. From Tastefully Frugal, Han salsa is made with a blend of tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and mor that’s mild, but still zesty enough to please Jedi’s young and old.

Baby Yoda Deviled Eggs

I cannot get over how cute these Baby Yoda deviled eggs from The Super Mom Life are. Can you guess what gives them the green color? If you guessed avocados, right you are, young padawan. Peppercorn eyes and snow pea ears complete this tasty appetizer, perfect for a Star Wars movie marathon or a re-watch of The Mandalorian.

Tie Fighter Oreo Pops

Zip and zoom through the galaxy with these Tie Fighter Oreo pops from blogger Ashlee Marie. (I know there are a ton of Oreo recipes here, but they’re dark, so it works.) These easy-to-make pops are the tastiest treats this side of Tatooine.

Qui-Gon Jinn-Ger Snaps

While there may be some hard feelings as to the role Qui-Gon Jinn, Jedi Master extraordinaire, played in Anakin Skywalker’s entry into the world of the Jedi (because we all know how that ended), there’s no denying his place in the franchise. To that end, these Qui-Gon Jinn-Ger snaps from Big Flavors Tiny Kitchen have an adorable moon-shaped cutout showcasing a layer of apricot jam between two cookies.
