Festive Churro Marshmallow Wand
Marshmallow treats happen to be my favorite at Disneyland Resort, and this one looks delicious! To make the delightful offering, a Mickey-shaped marshmallow first gets dipped in rich white chocolate.
Afterward, it’s rolled in graham cracker crumbs and cinnamon sugar! Not only is this chewy masterpiece fun to eat, but it’s also a blast to create!
