A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, the Tusken Raiders of Tatooine warmed up beside their banthas on cold desert nights, but we like to think they were also sipping something a little more delicious. Bantha Cocoa is the rich, creamy, indulgent hot chocolate inspired by the beloved woolly creatures of Star Wars, and it’s the perfect drink for any Jedi, Sith, or smuggler looking to cozy up on a chilly evening. Whether you’re hosting a Star Wars marathon, celebrating May the 4th, or just want a galaxy-worthy twist on classic hot cocoa, this recipe is out of this world.
STAR WARS Bantha Cocoa
Ingredients
- 4 cups milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 8 oz. white chocolate chips
- 2 drops Blue food coloring
- whipped cream
Instructions
- Stir together milk, vanilla, food coloring and white chocolate in a medium saucepan.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until the white hot chocolate is melted and comes to a simmer. Do not let it boil.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately, topped with whipped cream.

Whether you’re a seasoned Jedi Master or just a Padawan in the kitchen, Bantha Cocoa is one recipe that’s sure to bring the whole galaxy together. It’s warm, it’s cozy, and it’s just nerdy enough to make any Star Wars fan smile. So raise your mug, channel your inner Tusken Raider, and may the Force be with you. Always.
My kids (and hubby) would love this! So excited for the new movie!!!
Made it tonight and it’s delicious!
Just a quick question though.
The Bantha is a desert, summer creature. Shouldn’t this be Taun Taun cocoa?
Hi Lisa! Oh, we’re all looking forward to the new Star Wars movie here in Australia. My Star Wars mad son would love this drink. It was a real pleasure having you at Thriving on Thursdays last week. I’m featuring this post at tomorrow’s party. Thanks for coming and I hope to see you again.

how cool are these?! I will be featuring these on Sunday! Thanks for sharing on Bewitchin’ Projects!
Very interesting! I love the idea. I’m not sure if I would like the actual drink because I’m not a fan of white chocolate, but I’d like to try it. They look so pretty. Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant! I think I have everything in my kitchen! Need to make soon! 🙂
my fav! blue and star wars, nice addition to the SW treats out there!
What a cute drink to come up with in relation to Star Wars. I guess it’s the favorite movie of everyone. LOL. I bet the kids of this generation are already starting to watch the previous ones in order to relate to the new one. 😀 This is one movie my husband wouldn’t let pass!
Oh Yum, what a simple recipe! My hubby is so excited for the new Star Wars movie!
I love how you created a star wars themed drink. Halloween is such a fun and creative time of year!
Great recipe! I’m not sure if I have ever watched any of the Star Wars movies before, but I fondly recall of having a Star Wars sheet set when I was a kid. ~lol~
Everyone is excited about the new Star Wars and with good reason. I’m excited about it too. 🙂
That drink looks amazing. Can you send some over? 😛 My husband is a huge Star Wars fan.
My son would love it if I made these! And I have no idea what Bantha is, but I’m sure he does! 😉
Omg my nephew would love this drink! Perfect for the strawier obsessed fans right now.
This looks amazingly delicious! I have to try this soon.
Oh my gosh, I LOVE THIS!!! My kids would totally give me the cool mom award for this one!
It’s amazing how creative this is. I will never thought of making this but thank you for sharing the recipe. I love the colors, I bet it’s delicious!
We are huge Star Wars fans. I am so excited to go see The Force Awakens. This trailer is fantastic. I will have to try this recipe and surprise the kids.
My husband is a Star Wars fan. But although I am not really much of a fan like him, I do have a sweet tooth and I can’t wait to try your recipe. Yum!
That drink looks so cool. I love that the drink is colored blue. I can’t wait to try this.
Mmmm. That looks good, very necessary for the cold. This Star Wars movie seems huge!
This looks so good! I really love that it’s colored with blue too! I love how different this is too. I think my girls would love to have this drink.
I’ve never seen a full Star Wars movie, it isn’t my thing, but my cousin is obsessed with Star Wars and would love this! I think my crew would like it more as a “Frozen” celebratory drink! 🙂
Now this is an ingenious idea. I am sure this drink will go over well during the Star Wars events happening in many homes across America. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us.
What a fun and unique drink! Would be perfect for a sleep over with the movie.
I am so ready for this movie!! My hubby and I plan to go (I’m trying to get a baby sitter for the kids, but they really want to go too!)
Fun Star Wars recipe for kids and for halloween party. I’ll have to give it a try
I would love to make that drink. It looks delicious!
That is such a great looking drink! I love the blue colour!! So simple to make too! My kids are looking forward to the new Star wars! This would be a great way to apease them until it arrives!
My family can’t wait until this film comes out. They have a count down going! Honestly I think it will be fun to see what happens in the movie. It should be a lot of fun!
What an adorable recipe! Very fun for the movie promotion but could also be applied to a lot of different holidays and themes!
You have no idea how much I love this! We are MAJOR Star Wars fans in our house.
That is awesome! I definitely DOES NOT look like Bantha poo doo! Yum!
