Serve popcorn fresh from your R2-D2 Stir Popcorn Popper! Create a DIY Popcorn Station with mix-ins like:

  • Mini marshmallows ("Asteroid Clusters")

  • Chocolate candies ("Thermal Detonators")

  • Caramel drizzle ("Mustafar Lava Sauce")

Force-Fueled Feast:
Set your Ships Slow Cooker or 7-Quart Digital Slow Cooker with sound effects to cook hearty meals like:

  • "Tatooine Twin Sun Chili" (beef and bean chili)

  • "Endor Garden Stew" (vegetarian lentil stew)

  • "Dark Side Pulled Pork" (slow-cooked BBQ pork)

Viewing Order:
