Walt Disney World is a place to make memories, and here at the DFB, we’re always game to create the tastiest memories of all: FOOD memories! At Goofy’s Candy Co. in Disney Springs, those memories include the fun and flavorful Create Your Own Treat experience.
The Create Your Own Treat experience lets guests select a base treat, a chocolate dip, a chocolate drizzle, and one topping. But what’s really happening is more than chocolate on top of a classic Disney Parks snack. That’s because the experience also includes the on-stage creation of your very own sweet treat and a custom, freshly-made snack!
The steps are simple: fill out an order form, hand it to the cast member at the counter, then wait!
Here’s the ordering sheet, which shows off quite clearly the many, many sugary (and some salty!) choices. Your bases include Caramel Apple, Marshmallow, Gingerbread Mickey Cookie, and Mickey Crisped Rice Cereal Treat (a/k/a the Krispie Treat). Dipping Flavors include White, Milk, or Dark Chocolate. Drizzle options are the same.
But the toppings are where it gets really fun because there are currently 12 options. One topping is included in the price, but you can add more toppings to the tune of $1.00 extra per additional topping. Toppings include Sprinkles, mini-M&Ms, Peanut Butter Chips, Chopped Peanuts, Sliced Almonds, Cinnamon and Sugar, Dark and White Chocolate Chips, Crushed Oreo Cookie Crumbs, Crushed Butterfingers, Coconut, and Graham Cracker Crumbs.
Once you’ve made your selections and handed your order form to the helpful cast member behind the counter, you’ll want to watch the magic happen! Everything is done on-stage, so you can make yourself really hungry for that chocolatey goodness! (Note that the procedure now is for treats to be decorated on only one side, so be sure to inquire if you’d like both sides to be coated!)
When your treat is complete, they’ll call your name, and you can pick up your treat!
Your treat will be packaged for you to take with you. Now, this isn’t air-tight packaging, so you’ll want to plan accordingly — especially since it’s so sweet, you’ll likely need to eat it over the course of a few days (that is, if you don’t plan to share with your crew).
There are so many different combinations of Create Your Own Treats to try that there’s something for nearly everyone. Prices vary a bit on the Create Your Own Treats. Specialty Apples are $10.99 and not snack credit eligible. But it costs $5.49 for a Krispie Treat and $4.99 for a Marshmallow or Gingerbread Cookie — or one DDP snack credit! These aren’t the most valuable uses of snack credits from a monetary standpoint, but they’re so fun and customized that the value goes beyond monetary in this case.
But the Create Your Own Treats aren’t the only customizable option at Goofy’s Candy Co.! That’s because Goofy’s Glaciers also allow you to build your own — in this case it’s a sweet slushy rather than a chocolate-dipped snack.
Goofy’s Glaciers come in two sizes — Standard and a Souvenir Cup — and in nine flavors: Coca Cola Cooler, Orange You Happy Orange, Goofy Glacier Apple, Brrrrr-Banana, Gwarshly Berry Blue, Hi-C Lime, Pucker Purple, Powerade Mountain Blast, and Powerade Fruit Punch.
At Goofy’s Candy Co., guests can sample flavors before they make their choices. This can be a fun opportunity to try things you aren’t sure you’ll like and maybe discover a brand new favorite! (It’s not self-service, so be sure to let the cast member know you’d like to try a few before you order!)
When you know what you want, let the cast member know, and he or she will dispense your slushy! We like the DFB-named Rainbow Glacier — a cup of multiple flavored Glaciers layered into a rainbow of sugary frozen refreshment! (See the advent of the Rainbow Glacier here!) But the beauty of creating your own Goofy’s Glacier combo is that it’s just the way you like it!
Also note: the Standard size of Glacier is also a snack credit on DDP (or $5.49 out of pocket)!
We love that Goofy’s gives guests the opportunity to create exactly what they want, thus giving them a personalized, positive experience they had a hand in creating!
Frank says
Do these, by any chance, count as a snack credit on the DDP? ?
Kelly says
When they first started doing these, the pretzel rods were much cheaper. I was really surprised at the cost the last time we were in!
That being said, I love Goofy’s Candy Company and the staff is wonderful. We went in on February 13 (day before Valentines day) and wanted some chocolate covered strawberries but the only ones they had in the case were milk chocolate. So they dipped some in dark chocolate fresh for us…yum!
Kristina says
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! for posting this! We’re headed to Disney in 24 days and our first stop after checking in will be Goofy’s Candy Co. I knew to look forward to it, but I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect. Now I can’t wait to order my own custom creation. I think I’m leaning towards the pretzel rods and who knows what my kids are going to choose 😉
Alan says
With the exception of a very occasional dark chocolate covered marshmallow, I’m not a candy/sweets fan. But this is my wife’s Fantasy Land!! It’s a great place for those who love sweets.
Sara says
I love love LOVE Goofy’s Candy Company! Aren’t the make-your-own treats so much fun?? They are definitely a huge amount of sweetness at once, but hey, when in Disney, it’s totally alright (also the justification for Tonga Toast lol)
Griffin says
I like the idea of the marshmallows and pretzels, though have never tried this 😛 Are any of them available as a snack credit?
Sarah says
I stopped by on Sunday and was tempted by the marshmallows. I might just have to give in soon. Topped with dark chocolate, coconut, and a dark chocolate drizzle… A marshmallow-y Mounds bar!
Ashley W says
I think I need a new keyboard, because I just drooled all over mine. I am putting this on my “Must Do” list for my trip in June. The treats look absolutely delicious! Thanks for posting!
Nicola says
me three for any info on ddp…
love this place, im a fond lover of the marshmallow straws, but i cant believe i missed the pretzel rods. what on earth made me miss them…. shall drool now.
AtticMouseBlog says
Oh my goodness.
In 30 days I may need to sample a few of these. Chocolate coma is-a coming my way!
Tana says
This area of Goofy’s USED TO BE part of the DDP… sadly, the create your own snacks are not part of the DDP anymore (it was our FAVORITE snack spot!).
However… this hasn’t kept us from indulging on every trip 😉
DtownBlue says
WOW! Amazing – this is now a must stop during my June trip! Can’t decide between peanut butter fudge cookie or marshmallow! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…
Hazel says
I recently started working at Candy Cauldron and I’m hoping to get kitchen trained! We don’t have as many options as Goofy’s though 🙁 — (wanna know a secret? I prefer Goofy’s over Cauldron!)
Natalie says
I think these would be amazing! But there is not much for people, like me, who do not like chocolate, but still want something sweet. I do like white chocolate in small amounts so the dipping and drizzle would be okay, but the toppings seem to lack a candy perspective. A candy cane topping or something sweet would be nice.
Jill says
wowzers! I need lunch.
Emma Godbold says
OMG!!!! How have I missed this amazing chocolate covered paradise??!! Thanks for another venue to add to my ever growing list of eateries for my next trip!!
Jeff from NJ says
AJ – Are you able to elaborate at all on the entry that reads, “Fudge Cookie – Vanilla, Chocolate, or Peanut Butter?” Is it a piece of fudge? Is it a big cookie? Any ideas?
Thanks as always.
°o°
Erin Foster says
Jeff – The fudge cookie looks like a giant Oreo, but with vanilla, choc, or pb filling. The filling is thick and dense – not exactly fudge, but close.
Pudge the Fish says
You have good taste AJ. As I am mentally formulating my order I create the same mickey treat, albeit with butterfingers instead of oreos. (I’m a oreo-middle kind of guy, not an oreo-cookie guy, hooray for double stuff, but I digress.) Then you redeemed yourself with your pretzel rod topping. 🙂
I’m a big fan of white chocolate even though my wife playfully points out that it’s not “real” chocolate. I’ve always been a big fan of Goofy’s but I’ve never ordered a design-your-own treat. There is so much great pre-made goodness in the display case that I just stop there.
Galloping Gourmand says
Well, those pretzels are kinda evil. Salty, delicious evil.
Jenny says
I’ve never done this before but now I really want to try it 🙂
Jeff C. says
This is a must-do the first day of every trip we take We’ve had the pretzel rods, the rice krispie treats and the giant cookies. i think my favorite is the pretzel rods. I want to be stuffed and stuck in a chair in the corner here when I die. With a pretzel rod in my hand….
Debbie LaRose says
This looks great. What is the approximate cost of the snacks ? My grand daughter can”t wait to go .
AJ says
Debbie — Cost varies from around $4 to $10.
Essie says
I head to Goofy’s on my first day to put in my special order. I order caramel apples with 4 layers of toppings and they’re wonderful. Then I pick them up later in the week, before I go home! It’s the best place; you can get anything.
Barbara W. McIntyre says
Do your jelly beans contain gluten. We bought a whole bagful and now I am having my celiac symptoms? I know some beans do just as Brach’s . Please let me know so that I can enjoy the rest of my jelly beans or give them away. Thank you. I would Ppreciate a quick reply. They are so delicious.
AJ says
Barbara W. McIntyre: Our website is not affiliated with Disney World or the Walt Disney Company, so I cannot speak to ingredients officially. Usually, jelly beans sold at Goofy’s Candy Company are jelly belly brand, so you can look online to see ingredients lists.
Claybob says
Heading to WDW in May, and the first stop will be the candy kitchen…snag a coated dipped treat, head back to the condo and totally enjoy every bite! We always hit it first thing and stock up. And, seems after doing a day of just shopping and people watching, we end up grabbing another treat to get us home. Can’t wait for May!
Tony E says
I was at WDW about a month ago and decided to give the create your own treat a try. I got a gingerbread Mickey Cookie dipped in milk chocolate covered in paenut butter chips and a white chocolate drizzle. It was the best thing I ever put in my mouth! I couldn’t eat in all in one sitting so I ate the other half for breakfast the next morning
Alivia says
Have the prices changed since this was posted? Some friends & I are going and we were just curious. 🙂
