Sweet Wheat

Make that Sweet SIXTEEN Wheat! Our WSU Shocker mens basketball team beat Gonzaga last week to make it into the NCAA Sweet Sixteen. 

Fear the Wheat! But don't fear this sweet treat. I made these chocolate WuShocks a few years ago - Rolo candies, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and shocks of chocolate hair. Wu's nose is a Tootsie Roll.

Tonight the Shockers play La Salle. Go Shox! 

WuChock

Behold, the WuChock - a chocolate WuShock.

I've been at Wichita State University for almost two years now, and this is my first attempt at making an edible version of our lovable mascot, WuShock.

To make a chocolate WuShock, you have to use Rolo candies, Mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Tootsie Rolls and chocolate frosting.

Do they look creepy? Yes. But then, so does WuShock. He's on every possible Top 10 List of funniest, creepiest, lamest or most ridiculous college mascots.

And yes, I'm aware that my chocolate WuShocks could also be mistaken for Beaker from the Muppets, or Sideshow Bob (Krusty the Clown's half-brother) from the Simpsons. But I don't care. They were delicious.
