Hey everyone!! I'm so excited to have so many readers - it makes me feel like this report serves an actual purpose
Sorry to have left ya'll hanging for a couple of days, work has sent us into overload with all this state stuff coming up
Anywhoooo......
After our AMAZING first meal of the trip we decided to wander around Downtown Disney for a while so we could let all of our food settle. Now, if you recall we did not order dessert at dinner. This is not because we are crazies who dislike dessert it's because we HAD to go to Goofy's Candy Company
I had read so much about the create your own treat stuff that I just knew I had to make one for myself. Originally Candi said he was just going to get a plain 'ol caramel apple - his favorite guilty pleasure - but after we got there he said he felt left out
Needless to say, he joined in on all the ooey gooey sugary fun!!
It was crazy crowded in there, I'm guessing this is normal
and when we placed our orders we counted 15 ahead of ours
We decided to take the time to roam around and check out all the yumminess <-- that's a real word just so ya know
After a little while we headed back over to the little create your own station to watch them make everybody's treats. Soon enough they got to ours
No no no, not the girl actually making something - the girl on the OTHER side reading the order - the poor thing got told off so bad right after this because they don't dip their apples in caramel at the time of the order
No worries, I promise we were not the ones who yelled at her.
After letting everything soak up all the chocolate one piece of food could possibly soak up, they boxed it up for us to take back to the hotel.
MMMMMM, yummy little treat that I wish I could have right now!!
We took them around to the cash register to pay and were told that neither one qualified as a snack credit. WHAT
I mean, I knew the apple wouldn't count because it costs like, a bazillion dollars. But, I could have sworn that every report I ever read said that my treat counted. Oh well, here's some more money for ya Disney
When we got back to the room we popped in a movie and enjoyed the best dessert ever
Mine - three pretzels rods dipped in milk chocolate, coated in peanut butter chips and drizzled with more milk chocolate - $3.50.
This was absolutely divine. It was the perfect combination of salty and sweet which is exactly what I was hoping for and the peanut butter chips gave it that little something extra. Candi also tried a bite and said it was good but that it had too much chocolate
. I wasn't able to finish them all that night but I did wrap up the remaining two and finish those another night!
Candi's - red caramel apple dipped in white chocolate (the only kind of chocolate he will eat), coated in nuts and drizzled with more white chocolate - $8.95.
He said he was actually nervous to taste this because he was afraid he had ruined a perfectly good caramel apple
In the end he said it was very good but that he still prefers the original. I had a bite and thought it was just ok, but then again I don't like white chocolate.
Overall, I would most definitely go back to Goofy's Candy Company for more treats. Candi said he would try something different or just buy a plain old caramel apple but I really want to do a rice krispy treat and marshmallows and a gingerbread man - ok, ok, I really want to try one of everything
. Even though they didn't count as a snack credit I still really enjoyed it and didn't mind paying for it out of pocket.
Total Spent: $14.33 after tax. After they rung us up I found out that they charged me $1.00 for an extra topping
I'm not sure why but since it was only $1.00 I didn't say anything about it.
No snack credits were used since neither counted as a snack. I guess it only counts if you get one pretzel rod or the marshmallows. Somebody please correct me if this is wrong.
** Completely off topic, but can somebody explain to me how I can put links on my front page to where I can put the name of the restaurant but that is the link for the page where you can read the review? Thanks so much
