In a not-so-far away magical land, Disney characters roam the streets and bursts of light illuminate the night sky surrounding Cinderella’s castle. The name of this place is Disneyland, where the magic doesn’t end at the endless rides and meeting Mickey Mouse himself. Stop by New Orleans Square and you’ll find a jazzy spin on a typical beignet.

These beignets are Mickey Mouse shaped, and your trip to Disneyland would not be complete without them! Never been to Disneyland? No problem! I’ve got the recipe to give you a taste of Disneyland in bibbity bobbity no time.
