Star Wars Cake (Mustafar)

Step 3 Coat the rice crispy hill in chocolate.

Make sure you spread the chocolate to make a flat area of land. You'll see what I mean in a minute.

You will also need to pull out the ramekin before you do this step.

With a sharp knife, cut jagged pieces of "land" right at the "shoreline" of the rice crispy hill. You can heat the knife to make it cut better.

I would just like to say, you need a lot of chocolate for this step. Or I did it wrong :)

Do or do not....there is no "wrong"! - Yoda ;) The Rice Crispy hill is coated in the melted chocolate, so there really isn't that much there. The rest of the cake (if I remember right) only had 1/4" thick chocolate layer. meh - who doesn't like chocolate? Right? Enjoy!

I ended up using 4 7oz tubs of the chocolate. But I made a double cake. Man my kids loved it. What an awesome cake. And, I couldn't find a R2D2 so Yoda was on the ramekin :)

did you melt the chocolate over the stove or in the microwave or does it really matter which way you do it?

What is the material you have laid out there? You used to form rice krispy treats and cool chocolate on?

[CementTruck]

The material is called Silpat. It is fiberglass coated in high temp silicone, and is used as a cookie sheet, or baking sheet. It is non stick. You can just as easily use wax paper. I (my wife, actually) already own these, and I used the materials I had available to me.

Just wondering if you used choc chips or another kind of chocolate (aka candy quik). I know I'll be moving the pieces and don't want any breaking so, I was curious what worked for you. Thanks.

I did not use choc chips. I used blocks of chocolate that I melted, then poured over everything. The chocolate I used was the same type used for dipping strawberries. It hardens quickly. I was not gentle with the pieces, and they withstood the abuse.
