No matter what time of year, you can’t go wrong with peppermint! Disney has shared the recipe for Peppermint Marshmallow Wands, which can be found at Marceline’s Confectionery located at Downtown Disney District at the Disneyland Resort.
From Disney Cast Member;
Holidays are truly sweet at Marceline’s Confectionery, a delightful candy shop named after the small Missouri town where Walt lived as a boy, located at Downtown Disney District at the Disneyland Resort.
The talented candy makers have been busy dipping apples, crisped rice cereal treats, and marshmallows into warm chocolate, with some confections getting a second dip into creamy caramel. The candy makers then artfully embellish with holiday candies to create adorable treats almost too cute to eat!
As a sweet gift to our readers, we asked the candy makers to give us their recipe for Peppermint Marshmallow Wands, an easy (and yummy) holiday recipe the entire family can make and enjoy at home.
Happy Holidays from our Disney Kitchens!
