Baby Yoda Rice Krispie Treats

If you're as smitten as the rest of the world with Baby Yoda (or, the yoda-species character we've all named "Baby Yoda") from The Mandalorian series, these Baby Yoda Rice Krispie Treats are for you.

Add coloring to our perfect, never-fail Rice Krispie treat recipe, some candy ears and big eyes, and Baby Yoda comes to life. Serve these at your next Star Wars party or just for fun. I cheated just a bit, since I used the same exact techniques to make these Baby Yoda marshmallows.

how to make Baby Yoda Krispie Treats

There are a few different steps to make all of the components, but not to worry. Each step is easy peasy.

First, make the cereal treats. 

  • Spray a large bowl with cooking spray or rub with butter or Crisco. Add 4 ⅔ cups Rice Krispies cereal.  Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside. 

 

  • In a large, microwave-safe bowl, place  4 tablespoons of salted butter and 10 ounces of marshmallows. Microwave for 1 minute on high. Stir, and microwave for at additional 30 second intervals, if needed. Stir until very smooth.
    • Be sure to keep your eye on the marshmallows! They will puff up.
    • 10 ounces of marshmallows equals 6 cups of mini marshmallows (usually 1 bag) OR about 40 regular marshmallows.

  • Stir a few drops of Americolor Soft Gel Paste Electric Green food coloring into the marshmallow mixture and stir very well.

  • Pour the marshmallow mixture over the cereal. Stir gently until the mixture is very well combined. 

 

  • Transfer to the prepared baking tray. Grease a spatula with cooking spray (or Crisco or butter) and flatten into a rough circle or rectangle. The treats should be about 10-inches by 12-inches and ¾-inch thick. 

 

  • Let cool completely, about 2 hours. You may also chill more quickly in the refrigerator. 

 

  • When ready, use a 1 ¾-inch oval cookie cutter to cut out shapes as closely as possible. You will have about 30 circles.

Next, make the candy eyes. 

  • Overturn jumbo candy eyes on a piece of wax or parchment paper. Add a few drops of Super Black food coloring to the paper. With a paint brush, brush the eyes black. Let dry. 

 

  • Pipe a highlight with white icing. I prepared royal icing, tinted white, and piped with a size 2 tip. You may also purchase store-bought, prepared white icing.

Third, make the ears and assemble. 

  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper. 

 

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, place ½ cup of vibrant green candy melts. Microwave for 90 seconds at 70 percent power. Stir, using the residual heat to fully melt the candy. If needed, add another 15 to 30 seconds in the microwave. Transfer to a disposable decorating bag and snip the tip. 

 

  • Pipe the ears and place a cereal treat circle on top. Add a dab of candy melts to adhere the eyes. Let set and enjoy!

shortcut tip:

If you're in a time crunch, to make these Baby Yoda treats even easier... just skip the eyes! They still look like Yoda, and if your guests are at a Star Wars party, they'll figure it out. I promise.

supplies and ingredients to make Rice Krispie Treats

Here are the specific supplies and ingredients I used to make my Baby Yoda Rice Krispie Treats.

how do you make Rice Krispie Treats on the stove-top?

My Baby Yoda cereal treats are microwaved, but you may of course also make the treats on the stove top. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat and add the marshmallows. Continue to melt over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is very smooth.

Add your food coloring and then pour the mixture over the Rice Krispies cereal in the bowl and follow the rest of the Yoda Rice Krispie Treat instructions.
