- These were inspired by the Disney Parks classic Mickey Mouse waffles.
Since Disneyland’s closure this past March, I’ve definitely been trying to keep the magic up here at home, especially when my three year old asks on the daily when they will open again. We’ve done a Mary Poppins themed tea party, and ate egg bites while watching a POV ride through of It’s a Small World (and my IG followers know what that’s referencing at this point), and I’ve made a few recipes that I’ve posted on here too. It’s been a real… treat to hear from readers and followers that they’ve tried out a recipe they saw here because they, too, were missing the parks something fierce.
So today over on IG I launched a giveaway to say THANK YOU to all those followers and I thought they best way to do that… was with food! The contest only runs until Friday afternoon so I apologize in advance for talking about a contest that will most likely be over with by the time you are reading this, but I hope the sentiment remains, and that just by you, reader, showing up and considering making a recipe, I want you to know that means a lot to me to take me into your kitchen with you. So, thank you.
The contest is giving away the waffle maker pictured above, and also a canister of Golden Malted waffle mix, which happens to be THE brand used by Disneyland Parks. The original flavor is iconic, BUT, I thought I’d change it up a little and give you some options for when you don’t want plain waffles. So check out the recipes below for: Vanilla Bean Mickey Waffles, Chocolate Mickey Waffles, and Citrus Sprinkles Mickey Waffles.
If you make a batch and close your eyes, you’d swear you were walking down Main Street…
