Make these Disneyland Churro Marshmallow Wands at Home

Which do you prefer snacking on at Disneyland: a churro or a marshmallow wand? Now, you don’t have to choose AND you can make these churro marshmallow wands at home!

Marceline’s Confectionery at Downtown Disney District offers a Churro Marshmallow Wand, which is the perfect combination of these sweet treats. This Mickey-shaped marshmallow is dipped in white chocolate, then rolled in a mixture of graham cracker crumbs and cinnamon sugar. It’s a delicious treat that is not only fun to eat- it’s also fun to make.

The talented team at Marceline’s Confectionery shared their Churro Marshmallow Wand recipe with us. My favorite part of this recipe is the homemade marshmallows! The first time I made homemade marshmallows, I was surprised by how easy they were to make. I was also amazed by the taste. The light, fluffy texture of a homemade marshmallow is worth the extra time it takes to wait for the marshmallows to set.

FOR MICKEY-SHAPED MARSHMALLOWS:

1. Spray a 9×13 inch pan with non-stick spray
2. Mix gelatin with 1/2 cup of water in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Set aside.
3. In a medium saucepan, stir remaining 1/2 cup of water, sugar, and corn syrup.
4. Cook over medium heat for 12-15 minutes, until mixture reaches 240°F. Remove from heat and allow mixture to rest for 1 minute, until it reaches 230°F.
5. Pour sugar mixture into gelatin and water.
6. Whip on medium speed 2 minutes, until mixture begins to thicken. Add salt. Continue to whip 8-10 minutes, until mixture doubles in size.
7. Spray a spatula with non-stick cooking spray. Pour marshmallow mixture into 9×13 inch pan. Smooth using spatula. Marshmallow mixture will be very sticky.
8. Let marshmallows rest for 4 hours, until set.
9. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and powdered sugar.
10. Once marshmallows are set, spread half of the cornstarch mixture on a large cutting board. Carefully flip marshmallows onto cutting board and cut into 8 Mickey-shaped marshmallows, using a 2 1/2 inch cookie cutter. Dip marshmallows in remaining cornstarch mixture and store in an airtight container. 

FOR CHURRO MARSHMALLOW WANDS:

2. Mix cinnamon, sugar, and graham cracker crumbs in shallow bowl or pie plate. Set aside.
3. Melt white melting chocolate according to package instructions. Keep warm.
4. Dip Mickey-shaped marshmallows into melted white chocolate, gently tapping to remove excess white chocolate. Sprinkle cinnamon, sugar, and graham cracker mixture over all sides of the marshmallows; place on clean parchment paper. Repeat for all wands.
