These NEW Disney Snacks Are Going To Be CONTROVERSIAL 😅

It’s undeniable — Disneyland is a juggernaut when it comes to theme park snacks. When we found out about a few NEW offerings, you know we had to rush over to try them!

This year is shaping up to be a big one for food at the Disneyland Resort, and we can’t wait to try ALL OF IT! From tasty desserts to savory snacks, Disneyland cuisine is the gift that keeps on giving. In fact, we recently tried a new dessert and snack at Walt’s first park and we have A LOT of thoughts!

During a recent visit, we came across two new treats — the Pepperoni Mickey-Shaped Pretzel and the Grape Mickey-Shaped Beignets with Mardi Gras Sauce!

Pepperoni Mickey-shaped pretzel

Starting with the pepperoni pretzel, we have to say, this is one tasty snack! The pretzel is $10.49 at Refreshment Corner on Main Street, U.S.A., and is currently one of two seasonal offerings (the other is a Chili-Cheese Potato Dog). Topped with fried pepperoni crumbles and parmesan cheese, and served with a spicy marinara sauce, this Mickey pretzel is like eating your own personal pizza.

We were BIG fans of this treat! It has that classic Mickey Pretzel salty flavor, but the pepperoni flavor really kicks in with hints of parmesan. When you mix the pretzel with the accompanying sauce, the pizza profile really comes together. The sauce has a lot of that sweet marinara taste that’s followed by some spice, but we thought it was the right amount and not too strong. Overall, we really enjoyed this treat and definitely recommend it!

The sauce is pretty tasty!

So is this snack for you? If you like pepperoni pizza and a bit of spice, we think you’re going to really enjoy it. If you typically avoid salty snacks, then this isn’t going to be the snack that changes your mind.

As for the beignets, our experience was totally different. The Grape Mickey-Shape Beignets can be bought at Mint Julep Bar in a 3-pack for $5.99 or 6-pack for $9.49, and the Mardi Gras Sauce can be purchased alongside them for $1.39.

The Beignets are dusted with grape powdered sugar and the sauce is green icing with gold pearls.

Mardi Gras Sauce

This dessert was NOT our cup of tea. The beignets were warm and soft but the grape flavor tasted artificial and was reminiscent of children’s cough syrup. It wasn’t the worst thing we’ve ever tried, but we probably won’t get it again. As for the sauce, it was decent and tasted just like vanilla icing.

The beignets come in packs of three or six

If you don’t mind the taste of grape-flavored medicine or are feeling adventurous, you might really like this new flavor of beignets. If artificial grape flavoring isn’t your favorite, then maybe pass on this flavor and stick with the original, hard-to-beat beignets.
