REVIEW: It’s a Good Thing This NEW Disney World Snack Tastes Better Than It Looks

[Disney4me]

Disney giveth, and Disney taketh away. In this case, we’re talking about SNACKS!

Friar’s Nook

Up until recently, you could get Tiana’s Beignets at Friar’s Nook in Magic Kingdom, but they have officially been replaced by a new sweet treat! Don’t worry, you can still get those famous beignets at Golden Oak Outpost, but for now, we’re heading to Friar’s Nook for a new snack!

We stopped by the Friar’s Nook at Magic Kingdom to grab the NEW Apple Cider Doughnuts with caramel sauce for $6.49. You’ll get an order of five apple cider-spiced doughnut holes covered in green sugar and drizzled with caramel sauce — and we must admit, they don’t look that appetizing thanks to the green. But how do they taste?

Let’s hope they taste better than they look

These doughnuts are more like cake doughnuts so they are a bit more dense than some doughnuts. However, they have a great texture and are nice and fluffy on the inside. We wish they had a bit more crispiness on the outside, but we have a feeling if you ate them right away they would have been more crispy.

The doughnut holes themselves have small, tender apple pieces mixed in and have a really nice spiced flavor. The dough isn’t overly sweet, but the green sugar on top definitely adds some sweetness. We think the sugar might have a bit of apple flavor to it too, but it is hard to tell if it is actually the sugar or not.

Apple Cider Doughnuts

The caramel sauce is the perfect finishing powder touch. The flavor is reminiscent of apple cider or apple pie. We probably lean more towards an apple pie flavor with the apple chunks and the spices are a little more muted than an apple cider. However, there is definitely a great apple flavor with lots of spice flavor (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves). You get five doughnuts for $6.49, so it’s not a bad price. It could definitely be shared with someone else for a snack.

We’ll be on the lookout for more new Disney World snacks to try throughout the parks and beyond. In the meantime, make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for the latest food reviews and theme park news!
