Good shareable take-home treats from the parks?

[SensitiveDragon]

I’d like to bring back some treats from my trip next week to share with some friends/coworkers when I get back. I’m curious what the best take-home snacks/sweets are from the Anaheim parks - no one in the office is a huge candy fan, so I don’t think the Goofy’s candy bags will work well, but they all love chocolate and cake type desserts. I’m hoping for something that will survive the journey back home! I have heard of the hand made toffee which seems like a great idea, I’m just curious if anyone else has other recommendations and where I can find them. Something that brings back the Disneyland magic when you enjoy it.
Thanks!

I might be in the minority here since they get relegated to more and more obscure places in the candy store, but I’m a fan of the chocolate covered honeycomb. They are a less homogenized version of Cadbury crunchie bars, but I like the variety in size and texture that brings with it.

My co-workers get mad at me if I don’t bring back at least one Mickey Carmel apple.
They aren’t Disney fans but the thin candy shell, Carmel and apple are a hit.
Just bring a cutting board and knife to cut it.

I should note the apples made the cross country trip from Orlando to SF just fine. And I had a very clumsy TSA agent throw them around a bit.

I'm not that big on sweets, so I can't help too much with what tastes good. However, I did bring home the honeycomb once and those were a hit. I also brought the waffle cone chocolate bars home for friends, and they request more when they hear I'm going back.

We always bring back a Mickey Mouse loaf from DCA, but it never makes it back fully intact!

The mallow fudge squares are a real treat! Not too sweet, come 2 in a pkg I always bring several home they keep very well.

This thread has good ideas, too: Class treats...
We've always had great success gifting the English Toffee, especially when we can show the recipients a video (search YouTube) of the toffee being made in the Candy Kitchen at DL! (Our international guests love this -- especially the ones who've never had toffee before!)

Thank you all! These all sound like excellent ideas! If I go with toffee I will be sure to get a video of it being made, and luckily we have a knife in the office if I get a caramel apple.

I brought back bags of the flavored popcorn once for our office staff and they were appreciated, if you need larger individual treats.

DH and I are going sans kids next week and DD17 has requested a Mickey-dipped apple, and DS14 a Tigger Tail. And I always pick up a package of the peanut brittle for my parents.

The banana and chocolate version of these bars is also SO good.

Last trip I brought home: Jack Jack’s Num Num, the Peanut Butter Graham Cracker Sandwich, Mickey Sour dough bread and Matterhorn Macaroons.

Wow! And those all stayed relatively fresh on the way home/a few days later? I was worried about things that were meant to be eaten right away like those

My daughter brought back a beloved Tigger Tale for me, earlier this year.

We were there Wednesday and I always bring home a bag of toffee. We had dinner with my parents yesterday and offered them a piece of toffee, which of course my daughter also had to try(never liked it before). They all ended up finishing my bag...

I should've got two.

I did see someone post in the last few days that they brought tupperware containers to transport their treats, which I thought was brilliant!

We took home some Matterhorn Macaroons and they were delicious even a few days old. We did keep them in the fridge.

That is genius! Thank you for posting this tip.

Oooohhh, thanks for letting me know. I have a OC friend that's a big banana peanut butter fan. I'll have to get it for her next time we meet up for lunch.
