It’s official! The holiday season has arrived in Disney World.
Disney Springs
We have to admit this time of year gets us SO excited. The Christmas decorations in Magic Kingdom are up and THEY ARE MAGICAL (that tree, y’all). We’ll soon get to attend the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights events of the year. However, what we’re most excited about — OF COURSE — are the snacks. Now, one such snack has popped up in Disney Springs, and we HAD to try it.
This new snack is available in Disney Springs at Amorette’s Patisserie (you know, where you can get all those fancy petit cakes and pastries). The online menu calls it a Mini Christmas Croquembouche and you can find it under “Holiday Exclusives”…

…but in the store, the snack seems to be in denial of its holiday heritage because it’s just marked as a Mini Croquembouche. However, it’s all the same. It’s a Chocolate Pâte à Choux, Chocolate-Hazelnut Custard, Chocolate Ganache for $8.50.
Just Mini Croquembouche here
The pastry is nice and light with a fluffy, creamy, and smooth feeling. Our pastry was a little soft, like it had been sitting for a bit, but we did pick this up later in the day. There are also some salt flakes sprinkled on it that add a nice additional flavor.
It’s pretty!
There is also LOADS of milk chocolate flavor, while the custard tastes like a light and fluffy Nutella. The chocolate ganache is also light and has a dark chocolate flavor. Although that might sound WAY too sweet, it isn’t! It works! Granted, if you’re not a fan of chocolate hazelnut flavors or you’re craving something more complex, this might not be for you. But overall, we enjoyed it.
