Hey everyone! Andre here and @anightowltech if you want to follow me on the Twitter. First off I want to say that I highly recommend that you go see this film. I know that based off The Last Jedi there are going to be people already whining about the film or going into it with critical thinking. But I’d like to welcome you to drop all of that. The negativity, the expectations…and just go see the movie. Because news flash: Ron Howard is a great director. And what he’s pulled off here is just one heck of an enjoyable movie, for everyone. For non Star Wars fans, you may not understand every reference and joke, but what I think is great about this film is that it’s for all audiences, the Star Wars geeks like me and the newbie alike. For the fans, you get to learn more about one of our favorite characters: Han. You learn about where he came from, about his personality, what drives him. You also learn more about his relationship with Chewbacca, and honestly that’s one of my favorite aspects of the film. It really turns out to be such a fun buddy, buddy flick. I think at the end of it you’ll say “wow, that was entertaining.” Because it really is. So if you’re on the fence, take a chance on it and let us know what you think afterwards!

How to Make Chewbacca Donuts

Thanks, Andre! So there you have it. We’re taking the whole family to see it this weekend and the boys are stoked! To celebrate, in Sneed household fashion, we whipped up these fun and easy Chewbacca Donuts! You start with a basic brownie mix (hello, yum). Pour your batter into a donut pan and bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes or until done.

While your donuts are cooling, you’re going to make Chewbacca’s sash out of fondant! Sprinkle powdered sugar onto your cutting board then roll out your fondant about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the fondant into 1/2 inch in width strips about 2 1/2 -3 inch in length then pipe two dots using the white icing on the black strips for the detail of Chewbacca‘s belt. Let the fondant strips dry while you frost the donuts.

Now that they’re cool, carefully move the donuts onto a cookie sheet and transfer your tub of frosting into a piping bag with a #14 tip. Pipe the frosting all over the donuts to make it look like hair (so fun, right?). Then let the frosting dry for about 15 minutes before adding the fondant sash. Once you add Chewie’s belt, wait another 15 minutes before serving.
