Dining in Disneyland: The Snowberry Twist from Maurice’s Treats
has taken over the Disneyland Resort, and with it comes new entertainment, activities, shopping, and fun eats!
The Snowberry Twist has debuted at Maurice’s Treats and it’s a pretty tasty addition to the other “Twists” that they serve up!
The Snowberry Twist is $3.89; it’s blueberry filled and topped with edible glitter and blue sugar crystals.
It’s hard to see in the photo, but the edible glitter is in the blueberry filling. This treat is pretty & delicious!
Snowberry Twists are sort of a hybrid of a croissant and a jelly donut. The pastry is flaky and served up warm. They are also generously sized and perfect for sharing. The blueberry filling is not overly sweet or artificial tasting. I definitely enjoyed the flavor. It’s no Pumpkin Twist, but it was still great! The filling is also thick, making the twist easy to eat without getting too messy!
If you’re a Frozen Fan, I suggest grabbing a Snowberry Twist and settling in for a showing of Frozen at the Royal Theater. If you’re not a Frozen fan, grab one and get the heck out of that area!
Regardless, twists from Maurice’s Treats are not to be missed. It’s a great little snack stop in the heart of Fantasy Faire.

Review: Parfait aux Fruits and Duo Mousse Cake at Epcot’s Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie
It’s become one of my life goals to eat my way through the entire bakery case at Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie in Epcot’s France Pavilion.
And why not? This place rarely churns out a dud, even though the selection is HUGE.
Now, I do have to say, I’m quite partial to my favorites: for example, the Frangipane (puff pastry with an almond filling), which I’ve adored ever since I tried it at the Food and Wine Festival’s Parisian Breakfast last year, and the Brix aux Pommes, which has become a more recent favorite of mine.
So sometimes it’s hard to switch gears and choose beyond those. But a goal is a goal and I aim to do my readers proud! To that end, I’d like to show you a few other staples in that bakery case that I haven’t previously showcased on the blog.
Welcome back to Les Halles!
While there are plenty of savory options at Les Halles (it’s a great spot to grab soup and a sandwich), today we’re focusing on the sweet stuff. Let’s check out a few more French goodies tucked inside!
In fact, the treats we’re checking out today are displayed side by side in there, even though they are quite different from each other. We’re trying the Parfaits aux Fruits and a little something by the name of “Duo.”
Duo
First up, the oddly titled “Duo.” Initial impression? It’s gorgeous. A smooth chocolate dome reflects the light in the bakery case and catches your eye immediately.
The small chocolate topper gives you a hint as to [Read more…]

Snack Series: Napoleon at Starring Rolls Cafe in Disney’s Hollywood Studios
As you know, one of my favorite places to go for extreme Disney cupcakes is Starring Rolls Cafe in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and my recent visit was not at all disappointing!
While I did try one new cupcake (stay tuned for a review!), I also snagged two new-to-me items that I’d never tried before.
I’d heard for months about the Napoleon at the cafe, and I couldn’t wait to finally see what all the fuss was about.
Turns out, the fuss is well-deserved…
In the case, the Napoleons don’t look all that special next to the over-the-top cupcakes and fancy schmancy desserts. But ya gotta push past the first impression here, folks — it’s well worth it.
When I got my new little treasure out to an umbrella table in the Starring Rolls courtyard, it was definitely starting to show off its sugary appeal. Though I’ve never figured out how to eat things like this without making a complete mess! 😉
This next shot shows some serious decadence. The glaze on top seems to be a thick confectioner’s sugar glaze — kind of what you get when you order [Read more…]
Quick Bite: Epcot’s Joy of Tea
Not too long ago, a kiosk called Joy of Tea popped up in Epcot across from the beautiful China pavilion. I knew the little red pagoda sold several different kinds of tea, but I had no idea of the extent of the fun and interesting menu!
While wandering around Epcot earlier this month my stomach started growling while I was walking toward China — perfect timing! I had no idea of the food offerings at Joy of Tea — or the [Read more…]
