If you're a fan of Star Wars chances are you gravitate towards anything edible and themed after the intergalactic film series like these homemade Star Wars candy gummies. These decadent treats are super simple to make and use pre-made gummy bears as the base.
The YouTube tutorial by Grant Thompson showcases how to make your favorite Star Wars characters from Darth Vader to Han Solo from edible sweets. The project begins with several silicone ice cube molds in a variety of designs inspired by your most beloved characters from the Star Wars saga. The molds are filled with microwave melted gummy bears and left to cool. Once done, the Star Wars gummies can be popped from the tray and enjoyed. These would make great homemade Halloween candies to give out to trick-or-treaters.
