Cutest Baby Groot T-Shirts

Obsessed with these Baby Groot T-Shirts my brother designed!  These were so fun to wear and a huge hit as we walked around the Parks! Cast members and Park guests were loving them and making comments about how perfect they were the whole trip!  The idea behind it was that once the Guardians of the Galaxy broke out the first thing Baby Groot would want to do is go get a Dole Whip or a Churro! Which meant he was off to his next mission! If you love these shirts as much as I do, they come in so many fun designs, colors and sizes you can find them here! https://www.teepublic.com/user/eds2010

Mickey Power Protein Peanut Butter Balls


Mickey Power Protein Peanut Butter Balls! My family loved these and while I admit they are certainly more of a dessert than a health food they are protein packed and perfect for an afternoon snack! Plus no baking necessary which is so nice not to have to heat up the oven on these hot summer days! For all my friends training for Run Disney these are the perfect burst of protein, chocloate and a little magic to get you through your day!

World Of Color Dessert Party


Had to feature the amazing selection of treats we enjoyed at the World of Color Dessert Party! My brother has surprised us TWICE with tickets to the World of Color Dessert Party and can I just say getting to SIT and enjoy the show while eating an assortment of fine cheeses, breads and desserts is amazing! Out of all the treats I think in the end the shortbread cookie was our favorite because the texture and fruit filling could not be beat but as I took a bite of each of the desserts it seemed I found a new favorite! Not to mention some of the best cheeses and breads I've ever had!  We also enjoyed a hot chocolate and selection soft drinks which hit the spot for this no alcohol family! If you ever spoil yourself and experience this you will love having the best seat in the house!
 


Pineapple Dole Whip Cupcakes

These Pineapple Dole Whip Cupcakes are AMAZING! When you can't be at Disneyland these hit the spot and transport you right to the Tiki Room!

Details: Betty Crocker Pineapple Supreme Cake Mix, Pineapple Curd, Classic Buttercream Frosting mixed with pineapple, pineapple juice and fruit fresh.

Fast Pass Friday- Star Tours


Last Week's Fast Pass Friday attraction themed treat was Star Tours! To celebrate all the D23 Announcements about Star Wars: Galaxy Edge I whipped up these Star Wars Treats and trust me The Force is Strong with these little cuties! I love Star Tour's ability to essentially create a new ride experience each time you ride it with all the different combinations of scenes it offers! I'm sure it's just  a taste of the magic we will experience in a few short years with Star Wars: Galaxy Edge!

Details: Rice Krispie Treats, Vanilla flavored chocolate melts (white), Butter Cream Frosting

Matterhorn Macaroon Doughtnut

Yes, yes yes to this Matterhorn Macaroon Doughnut!  It was everything I hoped for and more!  It's not available everyday because they rotate through a variety of different Disneyland Doughnuts, all of which look AmaZing! This was a total treat, the combination of doughnut and macaroon will have saying Yes too -- so keep your eye out for this one! You can find it at the Cappuccino Cart on Main Street just in front of the Frontierland entrance!

Royal Street Chicken Caesar Salad

The Royal Street Chicken Caesar Salad is one of our family favorites at Disneyland, you can find it at the French Market Restaurant in New Orleans! It may look like an ordinary salad but it has a Cajun Chicken that is the perfect southern touch, in addition to croutons and Parmesan cheese, it comes with a roll or cornbread! However, I cannot say no to the jalapeno cheese cornbread!  Two thumbs up for this one!

Buzz Lightyear Astro Blaster Cookies- Fast Pass Friday


How cute are these Astro Blaster Target Cookies?! One of my favorite rides at Disneyland is Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters and it's one of my family's favorite Fast Pass attractions because the return time is not multiple hours out which means you get on the ride faster and can get another fast pass quicker.  We love competing against each other and hitting these targets so having them in cookie form is such a fun way to bring that magic home!

Details: Sugar cookies, buttercream & cream cheese frosting, food coloring and piping bags!

Red, White & Blue Mickey Cupcakes


How cute are these Red, White & Blue Mickey Cupcakes?!  Such a fun way to add a little extra magic to a 4th of July celebration!  I took these to a party and they were a huge hit with the kids and adults!  For me 4th of July celebrations include fireworks, parades and celebrating the right to pursue dreams and those are a lot of the same things I enjoy and celebrate at Disneyland! Mickey and the 4th of July seem to be a perfect pair!

How cute are these Mickey Jello Jigglers, I used my mickey mold commonly used for muffins and did Jigglers instead, too cute and so simple!  These are a perfect way to add a little Mickey Magic to any meal or snack.  Not to mention with blue berries in season and the 4th of July right around the corner this cute red, white and blue color scheme is perfect for a 4th of July backyard barbecue!

 How cute are these Matterhorn Rice Crispy Treats?!  I so excited how they turned out and they are just as tasty!

Such a fun way to capture a fun, iconic & beloved Disneyland attraction and bring the magic of it home!

Details: Rice Krispies, White Chocolate for dipping & grated white chocolate shavings for an extra snowy look!  For shaping we just used our hands to form the base of the mountain and then waited a few minutes for it to firm up and then built on the top half.  We then let them cool and later dipped them in melted white chocolate!

Monte Cristo


Dreaming of one of the ultimate Disneyland foods today, the Monte Cristo! This is like a meal, a treat, a work of art and a mouth watering life changing experience all rolled into one.  It's a sliced turkey, ham, and swiss fried in a light batter and served with Berry Puree dusted with Powdered Sugar.  This is so rich and full of flavor your taste buds will thank you.  We always end up sharing this one because 2 pieces seem to be just the right amount for us with this rich and decadent delight! Book reservations at Cafe Orleans (lunch or dinner) or the Blue Bayou (lunch) before your trip!

Mickey Chocolate-Dipped Rice Krispie Treats


Love these cute chocolate dipped Mickey Rice Krispie treats drizzled with white chocolate and sprinkled with edible glitter.  Edible glitter is a great addition to any type of Disney baking and adds that extra touch of magic, even a little Pixie Dust if you will! We used the Mickey cookie cutter we got at Disneyland as a mold to get that classic Mickey shape and they were a hit!

Details: Rice Krispie, Dipping Chocolate, White Chocolate, Edible Glitter (silver & red) and Mickey Cookie Cutter

Minnie Cake & Introduction

Hey, welcome to Mickey Munchies.  I am so excited to begin this journey and share so many fun ideas with you!  I LOVE visiting Disney theme parks, Disneyland is my home away from home and I obsess over all the cute & magical treats they create!  Since I was little I remember food being the highlight of our Disneyland trips!  After returning home, as we would be making treats and meals as a family we would come up with ways we could make what we baked into a shape of a Mickey or some Disney themed treat! Coming up with creative ways to bring that magic home has brought me and my family joy for years and I look forward to sharing those ideas here!

First is this AmaZinG Minnie cake my mom did for my birthday!  We searched for ideas online and then combined quite a few different ideas and some ideas of her own to make it one of my favorite cakes to date!

Details: Buttercream frosting and Funfetti cake! Too cute and so tasty!
