Disney Food Friday: The Making of a Minnie Mouse Candy Apple Tutorial

Tweet

Whenever we are in Disney Springs a must do is Goofy's Candy Company. While browsing the cases laden with delicious sweet treats and stuffing by-the-pound bags to take home we enjoy watching the bakers making confectioneries in the show kitchen. Making candy apples for your #DisneySide @HomeCelebration would have the kids (big and small) squealing with delight. It's a great way bring back happy memories of Walt Disney World.

Here's a yummy tutorial from the Disney Park Blog: Making Minnie Mouse Candy Apples at Marceline's Confectionary that I'm going to try to follow when I make mine. 
Candy maker Margie Bursiaga does her magic at Marceline’s Confectionary in Disneyland's Downtown Disney District.

Ingredients:
An apple on a stick
caramel 
marshmallows 
melted milk chocolate 
melted white chocolate 
an edible red bow (red licorice would work at home)
red sugar
white chocolate dots
Patience!

Today we have a special treat (pun intended) for you, Leslie from Violet Imperfection is here to share her favorite "Must Do" in the Magic Kingdom.
Hi Focused on the Magic readers! Today I'm going to share with you one of my must dos for every trip to Walt Disney World. It took me some time to decide a must do,

Star Wars Weekend Foodie Favorite

Happy Foodie Friday! We're focused on cupcake galactic goodness today. Star Wars Weekends are an exciting and an event filled time with parades, character meet and greets, autograph signings, Darth Mall shopping and the galactic shows. 

At some point during the out-of-this-world festivities you have to take a break and recharge, or at least I do. What better sweet snack dessert could there possibly be for Star Wars Weekends than the exclusive to Star Wars Weekends, Darth Vader cupcake?

This was the best cupcake I have ever tasted on property. It has edged out The Disney Moms Panel Fan Luncheon pink perfect cupcake as my favorite. 

The Darth Vader cupcake is one snack credit on the Disney Dining Plan or $4.99. Thinking that seems a bit pricey for a cupcake? Not at all, considering it's a full size large cupcake, filled with Chocolate-Peanut Butter, topped with sprinkles and Chocolate Frosting. DS, @PetethePirate and I decided to split this cupcake when we saw how large it was. I'm glad we did because it was more than enough for both of us, right down to the chocolate Darth Vader and white chocolate light saber. It was good to the last bite! 

The Darth Vader cupcake was available during Star Wars Weekends in multiple locations throughout Disney Hollywood Studios. I got mine at ABC Commissary so that I might enjoy my break from the action and some much needed air conditioning.

Other locations: 

Backlot Express

Starring Rolls

Studio Catering

Have you tried the Darth Vader Cupcake?
