I decided to try the Pinterest-inspired cake that used Kit Kat bars and M&Ms!

Here are the ingredients; Boxed cake mix, store-blought frosting, Kit Kat bars and M&M Easter/pastel-colored candies.

Christmas at Disneyland is as magical as you can imagine, and now, with the Disneyland Festival of Holidays, there are even more shows, parades, foods, and holiday treats to enjoy!

Just when you think they can’t possibly pack any more joy, entertainment, and heartwarming storytelling into Disneyland…they do! Disneyland’s new ride, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, is a delightful and thrilling extension of the fairytale The Princess and The Frog.

Put the Kit Kat bars around the cake (I think it was a total of 24 sticks.)

Topped with one bag of the candies. I tied some ribbons I had around the cake to make it look a little more festive.

And that was it! Not a lot of fuss, barely any cleanup and if you are serving this at an event where there are kids, you won’t have any leftovers! 🙂

An Easter tradition my family always had growing up was a coconut cake made (or sometimes bought) by my grandmother.
