Mickey Pretzels & Mickey Krispies

 

Mickey Pretzels

Who doesn't love a good soft pretzel!? These are so yummy fresh out of the oven with some cheese sauce or even good ol' yellow mustard! If you want to edit the recipe to a sweet version you can sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar or just sugar or sprinkles instead of salt. 

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups warm water
• 2 tsps salt
• 4-5 cups flour
• 2/3 cups baking soda
• 1/2 tblsp sugar
• 2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
• 4 tblsps butter, melted
• 1 egg, beaten
• course salt for sprinkling on top

Directions:

•  Combine water, sugar, salt & yeast in a large bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes or until the mixture begins to foam. 
• Add the flour and butter, and mix on low speed until well-combined. 
• Mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes until dough is smooth and pulls away from the side of the bowl.
• Spray new bowl with oil. Place dough in new bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it sit in a warm place for 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
• Preheat oven to 450˚F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with oil.
• Bring a medium pot of water and the baking soda to a boil.
• Turn dough out onto a slightly oiled surface and divide into 8 equal pieces. Roll out each piece into a 12-inch rope. Loop a dough rope to form a circle in the middle, but with about 2 inches of dough on the ends. Roll the dough ends into coils on top of the circle to form a Mickey shape. Place onto prepared baking sheet. Repeat for remaining pieces.
• Place pretzels into boiling water 1 at a time and boil for 15 seconds. 
• Remove from water with flat slotted spoon and place onto lined pan. 
• Brush tops of pretzels with beaten egg and sprinkle with salt.
• Bake until golden brown, about 10-12 minutes. 
• Transfer to cooling rack for 5 minutes before serving

enjoy!

Mickey Krispies

Mickey Rice Krispie treats are my favorite thing to get at the confectionery in Magic Kingdom...along with others stuff but these are 100% a must! We all love a good Krispie treat in this house, so I decided to make some but with a little extra magic. 

They are beyond simple! Just follow the directions for Rice Krispie treats on the back of the cereal box, we add extra marshmallows. Then once cooled, use a Mickey shaped cookie cutter to cut little Mickeys! Decorate with melted chocolate, dip them in chocolate 1/2 or all the way, sprinkles, m&ms...whatever you want!

enjoy!
