RECIPE: Learn How To Make Peppermint Marshmallow Wands From Marceline’s Confectionary
I’m really missing Disneyland. Not being able to visit the West Coast Mouse this year I find myself incredibly nostalgic for hand-pulled candy canes and a stroll down Main Street. Thankfully, Disney feels our pain and has recently shared a recipe directly from Marceline’s Confectionary at Downtown Disney!
If you’ve never been to Marceline’s than you don’t know what you’re missing. Named after the Missouri town where Walt lived as a boy this traditional sweet shop is positively brimming this time of year with a whole host of awesome goodies!
All season the expert candy makers are hard at work dipping apples, making rice cereal treats and coating everything in a lovely layer of warm chocolate! Each holiday season, the majority of the clever treats at Marceline’s are also embellished with delightful (and delicious) holiday details result in treats almost too good to eat.
We’ve got a few recommendations on signature Marceline treats to order if you’re lucky enough to be visiting Marceline’s Confectionary this month:
Minnie Holiday Crispy: Crisped rice cereal treat dipped in milk chocolate decorated with red sanding sugar, green candy-coated chocolate candies, and a red chocolate bow with green polka dots.
Mickey Snowman Apple: Granny Smith apple dipped in caramel and vanilla white chocolate decorated with dark chocolate, sour belt scarf, and chocolate top hat.
Minnie Holiday Apple: Granny Smith apple dipped in caramel and milk chocolate decorated with red sanding sugar, green candy-coated chocolate candies, and a red chocolate bow with green polka dots.
And for those, like me who won’t be making it to Disneyland this Christmas, Disney has a Peppermint Marshmallow Wand recipe that you can make at home.
