For a second I thought they were at Knott's, but then I remembered that Disney's shops are much prettier! And of course, there is the fact that this IS the Disney site.... What are those Mickey shaped goodies, they look like cakes covered in toasted coconut, the next to the last picture I think? Don't even know what they are, but I want one! Heck, I want one of everything, but please no hard or sour candy, and no candy apples, please! Gotta get to a dentist, my veneers are falling apart....
Here is a funny SG story involving the Confectionery.
As church lady mentioned, they are giant rice crispie treats. And they are really good. Using the ones shown in those beautiful pictures, this is one with a 1.5 pound chocolate medallion attached:
Notice the smiling Mickey on the chocolate medallion? The mold used for the rice crispies themselves has the same exact face, but because of the nature of rice crispies they don't pick up the face very well, just leaving a vague impression of a smile (incidentally, those ears are covered in white chocolate):
The smile is actually less visible in person than it appears in the photo. A few weeks ago I was working at the Cotton Candy registers (the ones in the fifth photo down in the diningindisney.com photos). From where a guest stands you can't really see the smile at all unless you know to look at it. A SG bought a plain one and as I was boxing it up she suddenly noticed the smile. She completely freaked, and I had to cancel the purchase. She said that it was one of the scariest things she had ever seen! I showed her the mold but it didn't matter, she ended up leaving the store without buying anything and she seemed quite disturbed by the whole experience. Since then I have carefully looked at the plain rice crispie heads several times, but I still can't see what she saw. Really, it was a very strange experience.
