Easy Disney Mickey Treats
If your household is like mine, everyone is getting bored and everyone is tired of eating the same old things. No better time than during a country-wide lockdown to get the kids involved in some easy treat making! Disney Family is full of great recipes, and these are just a few of our favorites.
Mickey Rice Crispy Ice Cream Sandwiches
Mickey Rice Crispy Ice Cream Sandwiches! This easy frozen recipe brings the best desserts together, topped with fun rainbow sprinkles—what more could your family want? My grandchildren love these because it combines two of their favorites – ice cream and Rice Krispie treats!
Mickey Mouse Rice Crispy Ice Cream Sandwich
I scream - You scream - we all scream for ice cream!
Ingredients
- 1 (10-Oz.) bag mini marshmallows
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- 6 cups crisp rice cereal
- 1 gallon ice cream
- Colorful Sprinkles
Other Materials Needed
- 9 x 13” baking pan
- Parchment paper
- Mickey Cookie Cutter
Instructions
Line the baking pan with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the marshmallows and butter.
Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in-between each, until the marshmallows are fully melted.
Mix in the cereal and stir until evenly coated with marshmallow cream.
Divide the mixture in half. Press half evenly to form a thin layer on the lined baking pan.
Remove it and line the pan again with parchment.
Press the remaining mixture into a thin layer on the pan.
Spread a thick layer of ice cream over the mixture in the pan.
Place the second cereal layer on top.
Freeze for 1 hour or overnight.
Use a Mickey cookie cutter to cut out shapes from the sandwiches. (You may need to soak the cutter in hot water to make cutting easier.)
Roll the sandwiches in sprinkles
Notes
Additional time: let rice krispie treats with the ice cream between layers set at least one hour or more in the freezer. Over night is ideal.

Mickey Peanut Butter Cookies
So – here’s my secret with these -n sssshhhhhhhh! We love these but sometimes just don’t feel like going through making the peanut butter cookies part from scratch.
So – we use peanut butter cookie dough mix from the cake mix aisle (sometimes) but even easier yet is the refrigerated roll of peanut butter cookie dough! No prep time involved at all. Using the refrigerated roll of peanut cookie dough will have these treats ready in 15 minutes! (I also use the refrigerated roll to make the ones with the Hershey Kiss in the middle).
I’m including the full recipe here for those of you that are more energetic than I am!
