Mickey Butter Cake Bars

This recipe is a family favorite and they are super easy to make. You probably have all the ingredients right there in your pantry. Let’s get started.

1 teaspoon vanilla-I always add a little more vanilla

Grab the kids!

Bring the kids to the kitchen and let them help. YES, it’s that easy to make these Mickey Butter Cake Bars. A wise person once told me that a good parent will let the kids lick the beaters. An amazing parent will turn the beaters off first! HA!

• Mix the yellow cake mix, butter and eggs. This concoction will get a little hard to mix, it’s very thick. Once it’s mixed well, press into the pan.
• Next, mix up the cream cheese (I soften mine first in the microwave for a few seconds). Then add the powdered sugar and vanilla.
• Pour the cream cheese mixture on top of the cake mixture and spread out.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until the bars are a beautiful golden brown. The toothpick trick doesn’t work too well on this recipe, just because they are quite gooey.

Your kitchen will begin to smell buttery and vanilla-y (is that even a word?). I like to cook these just to make my kitchen smell like The Confectionery in the Magic Kingdom.

• Once the bars are done, let them cool completely. Grab your favorite cookie cutter and cut the bars. Of course, my favorite is the Mickey Mouse cutter!
• As soon as all of the bars are out of the pan and on your favorite serving platter, close your eyes and touch your nose and ALL dishes will magically be clean! OK, this part may or may not work, but the recipe will definitly bring some magic to your home.

Voila! Delicious Mickey Butter Cake Bars.

I promise, this one is super easy and you may have everything you need on hand to get started.

All About The Grey Stuff

Everyone knows about the “grey stuff” or better known as the delicious topping to the “The Master’s Cupcake”. This deliciousness was made famous by Disney’s own “Beauty and the Beast” many, many years ago. This delectable dish is now served at Be Our Guest (better known as The Beast’s Castle) in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. Did you know that you can order the grey stuff for breakfast, lunch or dinner? Yes, I said even breakfast! Just head on over to Fantasyland and find your way to the Beast’s Castle.

Be our guest
Be our guest
Put our service to the test
Tie your napkin ’round your neck, cherie
And we provide the rest
Soup du jour
Hot hors d’oeuvres
Why, we only live to serve
Try the grey stuff, it’s delicious
Don’t believe me? Ask the dishes

You know the song, so go ahead and sing it while you whip up a batch of this yumminess. Or better yet, watch the Beauty and The Beast movie while you recreate this dish. Now, without further ado, the dining room (or Walt Express, we should say) presents: The Grey Stuff!

Disney Recipes: The GREY STUFF Tips

• You don’t have to have a fancy cake decorating set. Simply grab a plastic baggie (not the cheap ones-they burst easily) and a tip. Snip the plastic baggie and place the decorating tip in the corner that you just snipped. Easy Peasy!
• The “grey stuff” is also great on cupcakes. Of course, we prefer it best straight off the spoon. Grab your napkin, cherie!
• Be sure to refrigerate as soon decorating is done.

Disney Family: Mickey’s Strawberry Santa Hats Recipe

Christmas is RIGHT around the corner. Yes, I know we just blinked and here it is upon us again!! You also know what that means. Tons of invites to social, school, family and church events. The invites are ENDLESS! With those invites usually comes a stipulation to bring a dish. But Walt Express doesn’t want you to have to bring the same old boring dishes everyone else is making. NOPE! We want you to bring a dish that is both full of Disney and Christmas spirit. Disney Family is full of magical and EASY recipes that make it look as if you have spent hours preparing your dish. So, it’s no surprise that is where we found today’s recipe.

This adorable dessert/snack is an easy fix AND easy on the wallet. You can check it out right here on the Disney Family site: MICKEY’S STRAWBERRY SANTA HATS.

Ingredients:

• LARGE FRESH STRAWBERRIES
• WHITE CHOCOLATE
• VANILLA WAFER COOKIES
• SMALL CHOCOLATE DISKS OR CHOCOLATE MINTS

https://family.disney.com/recipe/mickeys-strawberry-santa-hats/

How To:

• Wash the strawberries with cool water and carefully remove the hulls. Pat the fruit dry with a paper towel.
• Melt some white chocolate in the microwave or on the stovetop, following the directions on the package.
• Working with one wafer cookie at a time, dip the surface in the melted candy so that it is generously coated. If needed, dip it twice.
• Place the dipped cookie on wax paper (coated side up), and immediately set a strawberry (hulled side down) on top. Quickly, but gently, push two small chocolate disks against the base of the berry for ears, holding them in place for a few seconds to make sure they stick. If they don’t hold, use a little more melted candy to attach them.
• Repeat steps 3 and 4 to make as many more hats as you want, reserving some of the melted white chocolate for the pom-pom tops. When you’re ready to add the pom-poms, let the melted white chocolate cool slightly so that it will thicken a bit. Then spoon a small blob onto each strawberry tip.
• Finally, add a little texture to the hat trim, if you like, by using a fork to gently “scramble” what’s left of the partially cooled white chocolate (it should resemble flaked coconut). Gently press some of the white chocolate flakes onto the candy hat brims while they are still warm so they will stick in place. Once the candy is completely set, arrange the finished hats on a plate to serve.

We hope you enjoy this little Holiday Preview and that it puts you in the mood for all of the upcoming festivities! Let us know if you try it! We would love to have a taste, but we suppose a picture will have to do!
