During the latest episode of Disney and Lucasfilm’sThe Mandalorian, the child known to fans as Baby Yoda managed to steal a batch of cookies from a student on the planet Nevarro. Now, fans who want to taste the snack featured in theStar Warsseries can do so, courtesy of Williams Sonoma.
Upon returning to Nevarro in hopes of properly repairingthe severely damaged Razor Crest, The Mandalorian reunites with Greef Karga and Cara Dune to discover that they’ve transformed the planet’s city from a bounty hunter’s haven into a place of legitimate business. In exchange for the repairs, The Mandalorian agrees to assist his two allies in destroying an Imperial base located on the other side of the planet and reluctantly leaves Baby Yoda in a newly built school. While waiting for his guardian to return, Baby Yoda finds himself eyeing the cookies of a nearby student who refuses to share the treat, prompting the undeterred infant to use the Force to get his hands on the snack.

Williams Sonoma, the self-described premier specialty retailer ofhigh-quality cooking products, is now selling officially licensedThe Mandalorianmacarons dubbed “Nevarro Nummies.” A package of 12 amounting to 9 oz. total will cost$49.95, though they lack the fluorescent-blue filling of the version featured in theStar Warsseries.“Inspired by a sweet moment when a young Nevarro student debated sharing his treats with the Child, 21st-century artisans in California have created these ethereal French-style almond macarons capturing the essence of this scene with Nevarro Nummies,” reads the official description of the macarons. “For authentic galactic flavor, each exquisite treat is artfully hand-piped with a rich, creamy vanilla filling.”
Because the existence of Baby Yoda was kept a secret untilThe Mandalorianpremiered on Disney+ in November 2019, merchandise centered on the break-out character of the series was withheld. Since then, the have been a number of Baby Yoda products released or slated to hit store shelves for fans to express their appreciation of the character. Of course, many of these products will cost a considerable amount of money, including the $79.99Baby Yoda LEGO set.
Baby Yoda’s existence was such a well-kept secret that even new cast members for the second season ofThe Mandalorian were unaware of the character. Actor W. Earl Brow, for example recently recounted a story in which he arrived on the setexpecting to work with an actual childbefore discovering his co-star was the now-famous green puppet.
Fans in need of more Baby Yoda content outside ofThe Mandalorianand related merchandise may be excited to know that the child makes an appearance in theLEGO Star Wars Holiday Special. The latest addition to theStar Warsfranchise will be released exclusively on Disney+ on December 17.
