Disneyland Copycat Mickey Pretzels Recipe

Disney fans, these Mickey pretzels are for you! They are golden brown on the outside, have a soft texture on the inside, and are topped with coarse salt. And, they are shaped like Mickey! A soft pretzel doesn’t get much better than that! If you love the Happiest Place on Earth as much as I do, then you have to check out my other copycat recipes. My favorites are the Monte Cristo Sandwich (Disneyland Copycat), this amazing churro toffee, and then, of course, raspberry rose macaron!

Mickey Pretzels

Soft pretzels are a weakness of mine! They are one of my favorite park snacks to get. I love them because they have the most delicious, savory flavor, and the coarse salt on the top is the best part! Or may dipping them in cheese sauce is the best part… That’s debatable. Anyways, these Mickey pretzels are no exception! They have a crispy, golden outside texture, and the inside is soft, chewy, and SO GOOD. These pretzels can be found in Disneyland and Walt Disney World, and now… your home! They are a classic Disney snack that your entire family will ask for over and over again. And the great thing about making these at home is that you get more for your money and you don’t have to stand in a long line to get one! A little tip for switching these up, try dipping them in some softened cream cheese to have a little contrast between sweet and salty. It’s delicious!! And guess what, even if you aren’t a Disney fan, you can make these at home too. They are for everyone!

Ingredients to Make Disneyland’s Mickey Pretzels

Warm Water: The warm water will be used to activate the yeast. Make sure that it’s not too hot or it will kill the yeast. Active Dry Yeast: This makes the pretzels rise. Granulated Sugar: A little bit of sugar gives these pretzels the perfect flavor. Salt: This salt goes into the dough and will enhance all of the flavors in the recipe. Butter: I use unsalted butter in this recipe. Flour: All purpose flour works fantastic for these Mickey pretzels. Oil: You will add the oil to the top of your rising dough. Hot Water and Baking Soda: This mixture coats the dough and is what will give the outside that golden and crispy texture. Butter: I like to use saleted butter for this part of the recipe. Coarse Salt: Add this on top before you cook them and it will be the best part! **Optional: Dip these in this delicious homemade cheese dip.
