One of my favorite ways to relive Disney memories is by making the recipes at home. After Disney vacations with my family, we would purchase Disney cookbooks to take home as a souvenir. So many Disney recipes have become family favorites that are still requested many years after that trip.
Since I love Disney cookbooks, I am thrilled to announce that “The Official Disney Parks Celebration Cookbook: 101 Festival Recipes from the Delicious Disney Vault” is now on sale everywhere books are sold!
Festivals at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort offer a chance to share a small plate, taste a new flavor, and enjoy a day of Disney magic with family and friends. Thanks to Pam Brandon and the Disney Chefs, you can enjoy all that is joyous about festivals in your home kitchen.
To celebrate the cookbook, we’re sharing the recipe for the Celebration Chocolate Fudge Brownies from the Disney Recipe Vault. This gooey fudge cake covered with chocolate pecan glaze was served at the 2023 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival and is a decadent treat that’s easily enjoyed by the whole family.
Let’s get to the recipe!
