Disney4me Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 New to the Disneyland Resort this season are an adorably festive line of Dia de los Muertos Treats.Dia de los Muertos Cake PopsFor the past few years, Zocalo Park in Frontierland has had a gorgeous display where you can participate in some fun activities and learn about the traditions of Dia de los Muertos.Dia de los Muertos SignageThis colorful area is most definitely worth a visit during Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort, bring a themed treat with you and you’ve got a perfect afternoon!Zocalo Park DecorI purchased my Dia de los Muertos treats to-go at Marceline’s in Downtown Disney. However they can also be found at Candy Palace and Pooh Corner in Disneyland as well as Trolley Treats over at Disney California Adventure.The Mickey and Minnie “Sugar Skull” designs come in Cake Pops, Caramel Apples and also Crisped Rice Treats. Let’s start with the Caramel Apples.Dia de los Muertos Caramel Apples To Go from Marceline’sOne of my favorite things to do in Downtown Disney is pass by the window at Marceline’s. On this visit, they were actually making the Sugar Skull themed Mickey and Minnie Apples. It always amazes me how easy these cast members make decorating the specialty apples look. If that were me in there, it would be a mess!Sugar Skull Caramel Apples Under ConstructionThe detail on these is really great. Everything from the hearts on the ears, to the curled up smile. I also watched them make the red sugar coated marshmallow flowers that are placed on Minnie’s ear.Marshmallow “Flowers” Ready to be Place on Minnie’s EarThe specialty apples come decorated as a traditional Dia de los Muertos “Sugar Skulls.” Remove the colorful decor & marshmallow ears and these sort of remind me of the Jack Skellington Caramel Apples. Here’s the Mickey Mouse version.Mickey Mouse Sugar Skull Caramel AppleMinnie is similar in design; different sugar colors and she has a giant marshmallow flower on her ear.Minnie Mouse Sugar Skull Caramel AppleThe Granny Smith Apples are dipped in caramel and then white chocolate.Caramel Apple Slices & Marshmallow EarDia de los Muertos Specialty Apples are $9.99 each, or take 20% off with your annual passholder discount.Let’s take a peek at the gorgeous Cake Pops now!Dia de los Muertos Cake PopsThe cake pops come in either Vanilla, Chocolate or Red Velvet. Marceline’s had only chocolate and red velvet the day I visited. I purchased a Chocolate Mickey and a Red Velvet Minnie.Dia de los Muertos Mickey Cake PopIn past Disney cake pop posts, I’ve noted that the “cake” is moist and thick, more like a brownie. These are no different. This style cake pop is actually quite large — I’d say double the cake as the Jack Skellington and Mike Wazowski cake pops. With these ones, you also have the bonus marshmallow ears and M&M eyes!Chocolate Cake Pop CenterJust like the Caramel Apple, the Minnie Cake Pop also has a marshmallow flower on her ear; this one made from mini marshmallows.Dia de los Muertos Minnie Cake PopMinnie featured Red Velvet cake, similar in consistency to the chocolate. These will set you back $4.19. My family doesn’t agree with me that they are big enough to share, but I think they are!Red Velvet Cake Pop CenterAlso available are the Sugar Skull themed Dia de los Muertos Crisped Rice Treats on a stick. I did not purchase them but they sure do look delicious! I may have to grab one on my next visit.Dia de los Muertos Crisped Rice TreatsI just love how colorful and fun these Sugar Skull Treats are.
