Mickey Mouse Rice Krispies Treats Disney Copycat Recipe

You’re going to love this Mickey Mouse Rice Krispies Treats Disney Copycat Recipe. This easy, no-bake Disney recipe is a fun and festive way to celebrate the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary at home.

I absolutely love Mickey-shaped food. Why is it that anything Mickey-shaped is automatically elevated by 100%? Some of my favorite Disney snacks include: Mickey ice cream sandwich, Mickey ice cream bar, Mickey pretzel, Mickey waffle…and yes, the Mickey Rice Krispies Treat!

One of my favorite memories from our 2020 Disney World vacation (yes, about 2 weeks before lockdown started), was standing in front of Cinderella castle, watching the Happily Ever After fireworks show with my babies, and devouring a white chocolate and sprinkle covered Mickey Rice Krispies treat. I had purchased it on a whim from the Emporium while loading up my souvenir basket, and just like so many Disney magic memories, it became a low-key standout moment of our vacation for me.

After our 2020 trip, during lockdown and looking for items to bake, I recreated the Fruity Pebbles treat that I enjoyed that night at Magic Kingdom…but I did not quite go all the way. Instead, I made a treat inspired by that Mickey treat and you can find that recipe here.

I have seen so many Mickey Rice Krispies treats posted on instagram lately, and of course, I’m missing the parks like crazy. I decided that it was time to make my own Disney copycat recipe at home. These were very fun to make…and even more fun to eat. You’ll need a Mickey cookie cutter for this project, as well as candy melts, lollipop sticks (if desired) and, of course, lots of sprinkles. Penelope was a big help in dipping the Mickey treats and decorating them. These are fun on a stick, but also just as adorable and easy to eat without the lollipop stick.

Mickey Mouse Rice Krispies Treats Disney Copycat Recipe

You’re going to love this Mickey Mouse Rice Krispies Treats Disney Copycat Recipe. This easy, no-bake Disney recipe is a fun and festive way to celebrate the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary at home!

Prep time: 15 MinCook time: 20 MinInactive time: 1 HourTotal time: 1 H & 35 M

Ingredients

• 6 C rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies)
• 4 1/2 C mini marshmallows, divided
• 8 TBSP unsalted butter
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 bag white candy melts
• Sprinkles

Special Equipment

• Mickey Mouse head cookie cutter
• Lollipop or popsicle sticks (if desired)
• Parchment paper

Instructions

1. Pour the rice cereal into a mixing bowl and set aside.
2. Line a 9x13” baking pan with parchment paper and set aside. Also, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
3. In a large saucepan, melt the butter and salt together, swirling gently until it’s combined. If you really want to take this up a notch, make brown butter by allowing the butter to cook until it turns golden brown with tiny flecks throughout.
4. Pour 4C of mini marshmallows into the butter. Remove from heat and stir together until completely combined.
5. Add marshmallow-butter mixture to the rice cereal and mix completely.
6. Gently fold in the remaining 1/2 C mini marshmallows.
7. Press into parchment lined baking dish and set aside to cool and set completely.
8. Once cool, cut out the treats using the Mickey cookie cutter.
9. Melt the white candy melts.
10. Dip the Mickey treats into the melted candy melts. I found it best to dip them face down and then get as much on the sides as possible. You do not have to cover the back of the treat if you don’t want to!
11. Place on the parchment lined baking sheet. Decorate your treats with sprinkles before the candy melts set.
12. Let set completely.
13. Press a lollipop or popsicle stick into the bottom of the Mickey head. You may want to dip the top of the stick into the candy melts, then press into the bottom of the treat to ensure the stick is secure.
14. Enjoy!
