There's this low-budget indie flick coming out on December 18 called Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Maybe you've heard of it? Anyway, even though approximately only 25 people are going to see it, restaurants and food companies are going all out to celebrate, with themed cocktails and goofy food packaging. In other words: It's all Star Wars all the time for the next few weeks, whether you're loafing on the couch with a pint of local "The Dark Side"-flavored ice cream or adding a splash of Limited Edition Star Wars espresso chocolate Coffeemate to your morning joe. We've rounded up some of the most inspired Star Wars promotional snacks, because the force is strong with this food marketing.
An off-menu Star Wars mignardise board with a caramel-filled dark chocolate Darth Vader, chocolate Millennium Falcon, a white chocolate Storm Trooper, a lightsaber with absinthe candy and dipped in chocolate, a Death Star bonbon, and Han Solo frozen in a block of dark chocolate "carbonite."
Saltine Restaurant (a hot 50 nominee!) in Jackson, MS, goes all out. For a huge Star Wars party on the 15th, they're making a Captain Pho-sma, Kylo Rending, Artoo Arancini, Pimento Calrissian, C-3Po'Boys, Mon Calamari, Krayt Dragon Han-Burgers, Boba Fettucini, Aunt Beru's Blue Milk Stout (a collaboration with Lucky Town Brewery), and dueling punches of Yoda Soda ("Midori, citrus and soda, 900 years-aged") and Vader-ade ("tequila, peach, cranberry, Sprite, some fear, a few cups of anger, plenty of hate and tons of suffering… all to taste, of course").

Brooklyn's beloved Ample Hills Creamery created metaphoric special edition flavors "The Light Side" (marshmallows and "crispy clusters" with some cocoa crispies representing the dark side lurking in) and "The Dark Side" (ultra-dark chocolate ice cream with espresso fudge brownies, cocoa crispies, and white chocolate pearls—"to represent the light still hiding in the dark, waiting to burst through").
