Disney4me Posted August 11 Report Posted August 11 Fall has officially arrived in Disney World, and while we’ve been talking so much about all the fall and Halloween fun over in Magic Kingdom, there are TONS of amazing fall offerings over in Disney Springs. Halloween Cookie From exclusive fall snacks to the return of Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar Halloween overlay, we cannot wait to immerse ourselves in all the delicious autumnal fun, and we just got a preview of some of the snacks you can expect to find at Disney Springs during the fall season, so of course, we are bringing you along for the ride! The preview event began with a walk-through look at some of the Halloween merch that guests can find at World of Disney! This was mostly merch we’ve seen already throughout Disney, but we loved the chance to see all of the adorable merch again, including one of our favorites, the Cutie Ghost Collection. Cutie Ghost Halloween Disney World of Disney And then outside of World of Disney, there was lots of amazing fall entertainment, including Stilt Walkers, drummers, and performers. This was such a fun surprise and the perfect way to get us in the Halloween spirit. Halloween Entertainment So now it’s time to dive into ALL of the food we were able to snag at this event, starting with the Halloween Cookie from Amorette’s Patisserie. This is a classic chocolate chip cookie with chunks of toffee laced between layers of dark chocolate, and it was delicious. Halloween Cookie This cookie is so rich and decadent, but be warned: it is VERY messy. It melted very quick in the hot Florida sun, so make sure to have napkins on hand. The cookie was well baked with a great chewy texture. Our only complaint is that the decorations on top did not SCREAM Halloween. The Vampire Mickey was cute, but we were hoping for more; this was a fantastic cookie. Halloween Cookie Then it was time to head over to the preview of Jock Lindsey’s Halloween Bar to check out some of the exclusive food and drinks. Before the event began, we also got to hear from Chef Gary about each of the menu items, and he explained that this Halloween menu has been in the works since January. First up, we tried Jock Lindsey’s Midnight Relic. This is made with Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Ube Syrup, Cream of Coconut, Lemon Juice, and Edible Glitter. Midnight Relic This was a very light, refreshing, and well-made cocktail. You could taste the vodka, and the syrup and coconut cream added a nice sweetness, and the lemon juice created a great balance. Midnight Relic Next up, we grabbed the Viper’s Nest. This is a non-alcoholic drink made with DOLE Pineapple Juice, White Cranberry Juice, Green Apple Syrup, Blue Curacao Syrup, Sprite, Butterfly Pea Extract, topped with Green Apple juice-filled pearls and gummy candy. Viper’s Nest This drink was super sweet with a sour kick, and the pineapple juice mixed with the blue curacao added a nice citrus note. The green apple added to the sourness while the Sprite gave it a much-needed carbonated kick. The popping pearls added a fun burst of sour flavor and a great texture. Overall, this was a fun, sweet, colorful, and fruity drink. Viper’s Nest Now let’s move on to the eats. First, we grabbed the Bone Kebabs. This was incredible! It was the perfect mixture of sweet, salty, and chewy that we were a big fan of. Bone Kebabs The meat flavor was amazing and came through very strong, and the tomato sauce added an acidic balance that brought this whole dish together. The meat also came playfully wrapped around the bone that you could hold and tear off, which was a very fun presentation for this snack SO much meat! We also grabbed the Candelabra Eggs. These were deviled eggs, topped with crispy fried chicken, served in an iconic Candelabra display. If you love deviled eggs, then you will love this snack. It is a classic deviled egg with a kick of spice, which made for a really nice burn. Candelabra Eggs The crispy fried chicken was well dressed in a spicy sauce that was delicious. We really enjoyed this one and will definitely be ordering again! Candelabra Eggs Next we tried the Midnight Mayhem Popcorn Chicken. This is made with big chunks of crispy fried chicken with candy bacon pieces, spiced walnuts, popcorn, and hot honey sauce. This one was very interesting, and while all the flavors individually were very good, we just felt like they did not come together cohesively. Midnight Mayhem Popcorn Chicken We also grabbed the Dark Forest Dip. This is a well-made hummus that is covered with herbs, carrots, and lots of other toppings. This was very good and definitely felt like an elevated form of hummus. If you love hummus, then this should be on your fall must-try list! Black Forest Dip Then we grabbed the Alien Invader Sliders. These are fried chicken sliders with perfectly melted cheese, pickles, layered in with hot honey. These sliders are the only repeat from the menu last year, and we can see why they came back! These were spicy, delicious, and the balance between the acidity and spice was incredible. Plus, the presentation is just too fun! Alien Invader Sliders We also tried the Skull of the Dead Dip. This is a beef barbacoa dip with cheddar sauce and spicy fried onions, served with plantain chips. The plantain chips had a simple flavor that really let the dip shine; they had a solid crunch, but the dip did not coat the chip well. Skull of the Dead The dip had a thick and creamy consistency, with the cheddar being the most prominent flavor. The beef barbacoa added a subtle meaty flavor underneath the cheese. The spicy fried onions added a great crunchy texture but didn’t contribute much flavor-wise. If you love cheese dips and meat, then this is worth a try next time you’re in Disney Springs! Skull of the Dead Dip That wraps up all of the items we got to try over at Jock Lindsey’s Halloween Bar, and you might think that we’re done, but that’s where you are WRONG! We still have more snacks to share with you, including Goofy’s Halloween Popcorn Mix from Goofy’s Candy Co. Halloween Popcorn Mix This is classic buttered popcorn covered with melted milk chocolate, chocolate sauce, marshmallows, and candy corn. This feels like you took all of your leftover Halloween candy and dumped it into a bowl of popcorn. Overall, this popcorn treat is extremely sweet and will be a fan-favorite among kids! Halloween Popcorn Mix Last up, we grabbed the Haunted Mansion Portrait Bars from The Ganachery. These chocolates come in four flavors: Raspberry, Chipotle Chocolate, Caramel Chocolate, and Passion Fruit. The Raspberry was not super sweet and had a dark chocolate exterior that had a good crunch, but the dark chocolate balanced out the sweetness. The tart fruitiness was subtle, but the most prominent flavor was that dark chocolate. Haunted Mansion Portrait Bars The Chipotle Chocolate had a real hit of spice with a dark chocolate ganache filling. Anyone spice-averse would not enjoy this at all since it packs a strong bit of spice. The Ganache was super creamy, and the outside chocolate coating was well-tempered. If you love spice, you should give this one a try! Haunted Mansion Portrait Bars The Caramel Chocolate was so dreamy and smooth. Caramel lovers will absolutely flip over this. It had a super buttery quality that only good caramel has, and the chocolate was so well tempered on the outside that it added a crunch to go with the creaminess; this was absolutely delicious. Finally, The Passion Fruit had a chunkier interior, and there was a fruity flavor in each bite. It was similar to the raspberry but with more citrus flavor. The exterior was more of a milk chocolate flavor, which complemented the fruitiness well!
