Dwarf Favorite: Cream Puffs Recipe
In Mirror Mirror, the dwarfs sneak a batch of cream puffs after crashing the Evil Queen’s wedding. These cream puffs are party ready using store-bought frozen cream puffs and a few delicious sauces. If your party is for little ones, you can skip the sauces (and sticky fingers), or put them on the side for adults to enjoy.

Wedding Scene-Stealer: Macaroons Recipe
The only happy ending to come from the Evil Queen’s wedding was seeing these must-try desserts on the dessert buffet. Macaroons are an impossibly light treat that’s part cookie, part brownie, and completely decadent. In this recipe, pecans help the ooey-gooey mixture hold its shape. They’re sized by tablespoon, making them ideal for pint-sized palates.

Share-Worthy Treat: Chocolate Strawberries Recipe
Everyone knows that Snow White has pale skin, ruby-red lips, and a heart of gold. When the dwarfs spirit her away from danger, she returns the favor my sharing fresh, succulent strawberries. Adding naturally sweet fruit to a birthday party spread is a great way to encourage kids to eat seasonally. Dip them in chocolate and you may just have a riot to get to the dessert table.

Trust Test: Not So Poison Apples Recipe
No Snow White party would be complete without a ripe apple. While the apple in the movie creates a chaotic spiral into danger, these cuties are perfectly harmless. Use a melon baller to make mini apples bites, then dip them in a variety of goodies, such as chocolate chips or candy pieces. Serve these as a bite-sized dessert or wrap them up for oh-so cute party favors.

Mini Must-Serve: Quiche

Mini Must-Serve: Quiche Recipe
Quiche is an easy option when serving kids. Keep the ingredients simple by skipping the crust and using kid-friendly ingredients, like Cheddar cheese. The added bonus of broccoli in these little quiches, which keep with the “mini” theme, is a boost of needed nutrients at a sugar-laden party.

Adults-Only Indulgence: Sour-Apple Spritzers Recipe
In the original film, the dwarfs weren’t named. You can thank Disney for that! How many names did you get right? Happy, Sleepy, Grumpy, Doc, Sneezy, Dopey, and Bashful are the names of the crew Disney brought to its viewers. And, after you repeat that list 15 times during the party, you’ll be hankering for the adults-only treat: a sour-apple cocktail.
