The Little Prince with the lovable laugh is making his way to the big screen. The beloved children’s tale is more than 70 years old, and now new generations of fans will be able to see the Prince’s adventures in a new stop-motion animation film.
The Prince’s home planet of B-612 is small and sweet but what if it was also edible? These dessert asteroids are the perfect treat to enjoy when you take in the tales of The Little Prince in theaters starting March 18.
The Little Prince Asteroid Treats
(makes 6)
You’ll need:
nonstick foil
2 (12 ounce) packages white candy melts
black food-gel dye
printed cutout of the Little Prince
Ingredients:
40 marshmallows
2 tablespoons butter
6 cups rice cereal
1-½ cups chocolate cookies, crushed
Directions:
In a large pan, melt butter and marshmallows over low heat. Stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.
Stir in the rice cereal and crushed chocolate cookies. Divide the mixture into six equal portions and place a scoop into the center of a piece of nonstick foil. Form into a ball and let cool.
While the treats are cooling, melt the candy melts in a small bowl according to package directions. Add a drop of black food-gel dye and stir to get a grayish color.
Dip the cereal balls into the gray candy melt mixture. Let set on a piece of parchment or Silpat.
Once the treat is dry, tape a Little Prince cut out to a toothpick and stick into the asteroid to serve.
