Unikitty Treats

Rainy days in the summer holidays are perfect days for baking projects!

Inspired by Nerdy Nummies Snickers Pops we made our own Lego Movie Unikitty Treats.

Elizabeth loves to watch Rosanna Pansino's Nerdy Nummies channel on YouTube. As a result of that, and my own interest in baking, she is now very interested in baking and cooking and can often be found sat on the kitchen counter beside me.

This is the second of Nerdy Nummies projects that has inspired me to try my own version.

The Nerdy Nummies version uses a funsize snickers bar, I decided to base mine on Nigella Lawson's Marshmallow Crispy Squares instead. I also decided to take it a step further and make the whole Unikitty instead of just the head.


What you need:
  • Nigella's Marshmallow Crispy Squares use mixed white and pink mini marshmallows to make them pink. Cut them into rectangle shapes. Eat the cut offs, these are yummy treats on their own!
  • White chocolate, melted 
    • for making the white feet and the bottom of the head white
    • and to stick down all the fondant and chocolate pieces etc
  • Coloured fondant icing 
    • red for the ears, mouth, nose and cheeks
    • blue and white for the horn and blue for the tail
    • green for the neck
  • white chocolate buttons for the eyes
  • milk chocolate drops for the eyes
  • melted plain chocolate for the eye lashes. Use a piping bag to draw the these.
  • I also used the arm of a gingerbread man cutter to cut out the middle of the body.
This is how she looks in the Lego Movie, for those that haven't seen it:


I'm pretty pleased with the results. Elizabeth helped by dipping the crispy squares into the white chocolate, rolling out the fondant icing and she drew the eyelashes on some of our Unikitty Treats. Rebecca helped by eating the ingredients!
