Notes:
I made my own yellow sugar by adding 1/2 cup sugar in a jar. Then I added 3 drops of yellow food coloring and shook it up. Tada, yellow sugar.
Also, I made my starfish eyes by melting white chocolate and dark chocolate. This was very time-consuming, messy, and a little troublesome, so if you can find the eyes, buy them. It’d probably be much easier! You can also make these without the eyes.
