Chocolate “moose” is mousse rolled in cookie crumbs that kids can decorate with cookie antlers, eyes, nose and mouth, at Le Cellier restaurant in Epcot World Showcase. Many themed restaurants have their own creations, like the troll cookies in Akershus restaurant in the Norway pavilion that youngsters can paint, then decorate with candy for eyes and belly button, and cotton candy for hair. A hands-down favorite has been the peanut butter “playdough” that kids can shape, then decorate with pretzel sticks, marshmallows, sprinkles and more. Disney's Peanut Butter Playdough Recipe
Combine all ingredients in a mixer bowl fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix all ingredients until combined and dough comes together. Do not over-mix. Serve with fun treats to decorate and build creations: chocolate chips, vanilla wafers, pretzel sticks, marshmallows and sprinkles. Walt Disney World Junior Chefs For instance, at Boma-Flavors of Africa restaurant at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, cultural representatives from Africa select children to participate. A Boma chef comes to the table and escorts the child to the restaurant’s on-stage bakery to make a dessert to share with their family. Each participant gets a photo and a certificate signed by the chef. Fun With Food at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa * The Wonderland Tea Party is an hour-long, kids-only celebration with Alice and the Mad Hatter from the animated film classic. Up to 24 children ages 4 to 10 gather at one long, linen-covered table to decorate cupcakes (with their fingers) and dine on heart-shaped peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches and apple juice “tea.” Alice and the Mad Hatter join the fun and play games like “Hatter Says” with the children. The party ends with the children gathering fresh flowers that decorate the table to tie into bouquets to give their parents. Cost is $28.17 per child. * Grand Adventures in Cooking lets children make a dessert, then share it with Grand Floridian guests. The cooking program for ages 4 to 10 is limited to 12 young chefs, who start the two-hour session by painting their chef aprons with colorful handprints. As the aprons dry, children hear a story themed to the dessert they will prepare, with nearly a dozen dessert-and-story choices in the repertoire. For strawberry shortcake, for instance, the children assemble already-made cake with fresh berries and whipped cream, then head to the lobby in toques and aprons to offer the treats to guests. On an average day, the kids will make 100 strawberry shortcakes, 10 dozen cookies or nine pounds of fudge. Cost is $28.17 per child. Source: Press Release Return to Disney News.
