School Bread is named after the fact that in Norway, the sweet bun is typically packed kids’ school lunches for dessert or sold at school bake sales. For my family, this is our go-to sweet treat in the morning. It is the perfect combination of vanilla cream, slightly spiced bread, and sweet frosting topped with toasted coconut.
One thing that Orlando Florida has plenty of is hot, hot days. Because of this, it’s always good to know where you can get a snack that’s both tasty and cools you off! One such snack is the kakigori which can be found at the Kabuki Cafe in the Japan pavilion.
For this snack, I’d recommend having someone to share with because it is big and can get real messy real fast! The croque glacé at L’Artisan des Glaces in the French Pavilion is truly a sight and taste to behold. When ordering, you will get a scoop of your choice of ice cream and sauce to be placed inside a large brioche bun and then heat-pressed sealed.
The Germany Pavilion has some of the best caramel treats in Karamell-Küche. Here, you’ll find caramel popcorn, apples, and the treat up next to the snacking block: the caramel butter bar. It is a lovely combination of buttery shortbread and gooey caramel. If you find yourself in need of a sugary pick-me-up, I give this a try.
Another sweet snack found in the Germany Pavilion is the pretzel bread pudding. Using leftover pretzels instead of leftover bread, the pudding offers a fun and delicious twist to the classic dessert. The bread pudding is spiced with cinnamon, sweetened by that beloved German caramel, and drizzled with a sweet white sauce.
For me, the Morocco Pavilion has some of the best-tasting snacks in Epcot. Maybe I’m just biased for a good falafel, but I digress. Among the spiced and refreshing dishes you’ll find here is the pistachio baklava from Oasis Sweet & Sips. The layers of phyllo pastry keep the sweet treat light and crispy
World Nature (aka the Land) is the home to one of Epcot’s most beloved rides, Soarin’ Around the World. But in your rush to glide through the skies, you might make the mistake of ignoring the Sunshine Season quick service restaurant and a decadent little treat with it. I introduce you to the turtle brownie (not made with actual turtles.)
