You Can Now Buy Mickey Mouse Mozzarella Shapes, So Dreams Do Come True
Disney is happy to share its characters with kid-friendly snacks, like the celebratory Mickey Oreos and princess Goldfish crackers. (Dibs on the Moana shapes.)
Now, the Magical World of Disney has lent its name to a new irresistible snack: Mickey & Minnie Mouse mozzarella shapes!
What Are the Mozzarella Shapes?
Farm Rich, a snack brand that makes loaded potato skins, meatballs and more, is responsible for the Disney Mickey Mouse & Friends Mozzarella Shapes. The shapely nuggets are made from 100% real mozzarella cheese, coated in whole grain breading and shaped like Minnie Mouse’s signature bow and Mickey’s iconic mouse ears. The mozzarella shapes can be baked in the oven, deep fried or air fried to crispy perfection in minutes!
Serve the mozzarella shapes with a side of homemade marinara for dipping or as an accompaniment to a nice cup of tomato soup. There’s just something we love about the combination of ooey-gooey cheese and tomato soup.
Are the Mozzarella Shapes Good for You?
It depends! While they’re snacky, these mozzarella shapes can’t really be categorized as junk food since they also contain 25% of your daily calcium requirements and come in at 13 grams of protein per serving. They even qualify for the “Disney Check,” a designation meaning they meet Disney’s nutrition guidelines. The mozzarella shapes are healthier if you bake them rather than deep fry them, or pop them in your air fryer.
Each 16-ounce box of mozzarella shapes is priced around $6.99, and can be found in the freezer section at most national grocery stores like Publix, Kroger, Wegmans, Albertsons/Safeway and more. You should be able to find them on Amazon Fresh soon, too!
