- ½ cup vegetable oil (or as directed)
- 3 tbsp water (or as directed)

- ½ cup sweetened shredded coconut (to resemble fur)
- White chocolate chips or candies (for eyes)
- Mini chocolate chips (for pupils)
- Small candy rectangles or sprinkles (for bandolier details)

Instructions

- Bake: Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean. Allow to cool completely.
- Cut Shapes: Cut brownies into rectangles or squares.
- Frost & Texture: Spread chocolate frosting over each brownie. Press shredded coconut lightly on top for a fur effect.
- Add Eyes & Face: Place two white chocolate chips as eyes on each brownie, adding mini chocolate chips for pupils. Use frosting to draw a nose and mouth.
- Create Bandolier: Use small candies or sprinkles to form Chewbacca’s signature bandolier across each brownie.
- Serve: Arrange on a platter and watch them disappear faster than the Millennium Falcon!
