Of all the iconic treats that Disney fans crave, Mickey pretzels are right up there near the top. On April 26th, celebrate National Pretzel Day and bring home a bit of Disney magic by making your own version of this classic park prize.
The recipe for an actual Mickey pretzel hasn’t been published by Disney, but they have provided the version that is available at the Germany Pavilion at Epcot. So, while this recipe is authentically “Disney,” you just need to create your own “mouse” silhouette. Break out the mustard for dipping, or melt down some of your own cheese sauce for dunking. Add a few Mickey shorts on Disney+, and pretend you’re riding on Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway while you are at it. We won’t judge… you’ve been locked in the house for a while. We get it. Whip up a batch of Disney snacks and have at it.
