Celebrate the New Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Soldiers With a Sith Trooper Root Beer Float

• 5 ounces red candy melts
• 1 stormtrooper silicone mold

• 1 cup water
• ¾ cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon root beer extract
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• red food gel dye
• 1 liter club soda

• 1 Sith trooper tiki
• ice cream
• whipped cream
• red candies

Step 1: Place the candy melts in a heat-safe bowl and microwave at 15-20 second intervals until melted. Spoon evenly into the silicone mold, tapping to release excess air bubbles. Place in the freezer to set.

Step 2: In a saucepan over medium-high heat, stir the water and sugar together and bring to a simmer until the sugar dissolves. Turn off the heat and stir in the root beer extract, vanilla extract, and red food gel dye. Refrigerate until cold.

Step 3: Stir the simple syrup mixture with the club soda to combine.

Step 4: Remove the stormtrooper chocolates from the mold.

Step 5: Scoop the ice cream into the tiki, and pour over some of the root beer.

Step 6: Top with whipped cream, candies, and the stormtrooper chocolates, to serve.
