Who’s heading to a Disney Park this year? We went to Disney World a couple of years ago and loved it! Well, to be honest, we would have loved it more if we hadn’t gone in the dead of summer. Our family is planning on going to Disneyland in a few years and our boys are looking forward to it! We are waiting until our youngest grows a little taller so we can all enjoy the rides together.
Sure Disney has fantastic rides and attractions, but let’s be honest. Some of the most amazing treats come out of those parks! And many of those treats are shaped in the ever iconic Mickey ears.
I couldn’t resist recreating a popular treat found in Pooh’s Corner. These Chocolate Dipped Mickey Rice Crispy Treats are simple to make and will make any Disney Fan happy!
