Star Wars Inspired Snacks
My son has turned me into somewhat of a Star Wars fan. I cant escape his enthusiasm and enjoy finding ways to support it. Friday, May 4th is a day for all Star Wars fans to celebrate and greet their fellow fans with the fun phrase, "May the FOURTH be with you." (For our newbie fans, "May the force by with you" is a famous line from the Star Wars films.)

1. Tie Fighter Cookie Treats: Super simple, effectively authentic & yummy to boot. All you need is marshmallows, white chocolate (as the "glue") and Oreo Thin Crisp Cookies. Thank you to Clean and Scentsible for the inspiration!

While the idea of May the 4th did not start with Lucasfilm, the film company that created Star Wars has fully embraced the spirit of fandom that makes the day so special. StarWars.com, as well as the official Star Wars social media channels (hashtag #StarWarsDay), help spread the word and showcase fan activity.
May the Fourth be with you! Happy #StarWarsDay!
