For the Mickey Rice Krispie treat, you will need a Mickey-shaped pan. I had purchased my pan during our last trip to Walt Disney World in 2016. This followed the traditional Rice Krispie treat recipe. After mixing the cereal in with the butter and marshmallows, I scooped the mixture into the silicone Mickey pan. The pan will fit the standard recipe. After filling the pan I flipped it onto a lined cookie sheet and set the entire thing in the refrigerator (be sure to not remove the Mickey pan), and let it set overnight. In the morning I removed the pan and Mickey came out perfectly.
there were candles as it was used for someone's birthday
Next up, we have "the Grey Stuff". You should try it; it's delicious. This item is typically served at Be Our Guest Restaurant, atop the Master's Cupcake. For the recipe you will need:
1 (3.4 ounce) package Instant Vanilla Pudding
1.5 cups whole or 2% milk
12 Oreos*
1 (8 ounce) tub Cool Whip
1-1.5 tablespoons of Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix**
Edible pearls or silver sprinkles (optional)
*trust me when I say you want Regular Oreos...not double stuff or thins. The first time I made this I used the thins and it didn't turn out as good as it could have been
**for a double batch I used barely 2 tablespoons of mix
Mix together the box of instant vanilla pudding and milk. Place the mixture into the refrigerator.
Crush your Oreos. This can be done in a food processor. Since I don't have a food processor, I chose to scrape out the filling, smash the cookie halves, then melt down and mix the filling in with the vanilla pudding. It turned out well this way.
Mix the crushed Oreos into the vanilla pudding, then fold in the Cool Whip. Once this has been mixed, add in the dry chocolate pudding mix. You'll want to add the mix in spurts, as to not darken your "Grey Stuff".
Add edible pearls or sprinkles as you like.
"Try the Grey Stuff. It's delicious! Don't believe me? Ask the dishes!"
The final recipe is the Dole Whip. The Dole Whip is an exclusive item, only found in one park location in Walt Disney World. For this recipe, you will need:
2 cups frozen pineapple
1 cup vanilla ice cream or vanilla frozen yogurt (I used the frozen yogurt-turned out great)
Orange or Pineapple Juice
In a blender, combine the 2 cups frozen pineapple with the 1 cup of ice cream or yogurt. Add a splash of your juice choice and blend until smooth.
You can then serve it one of two ways. You can dish it up in a bowl, or put some into a glass and pour your juice choice over it to make a float.
These Disney treats are quite delicious, and fairly simple to make. A great way to transport yourself back to the Parks.
