Disney & Pixar’s “Luca”

Disney & Pixar’s Luca

Disney and Pixar’s “Luca” will debut exclusively on Disney+ on June 18, 2021. This is an adorable family movie for summer

Disney and Pixar have done it again and created some pure magic! Set in a beautiful seaside town on the Italian Riviera, Disney and Pixar’s original feature film “Luca” is a coming- of-age story about one young boy experiencing an unforgettable summer filled with gelato, pasta and endless scooter rides. Luca (voice of Jacob Tremblay) shares these adventures with his newfound best friend, Alberto (voice of Jack Dylan Grazer), but all the fun is threatened by a deeply-held secret: they are sea monsters from another world just below the water’s surface.

Directed by Academy Award® nominee Enrico Casarosa (“La Luna”) and produced by Andrea Warren (“Lava,” “Cars 3”).

Disney and Pixar’s “Luca” will debut exclusively on Disney+ on June 18, 2021. This is an adorable family movie for summer the whole family will love. It will also leave you itching to travel with all the beautiful scenery.

There are some great messages in Luca as well; such as conquering and getting over your fears. As Alberto likes to say, “Silenzio Bruno!” Remember to silence your inner critic that’s always telling you, you can’t do that, so you can achieve your goals! Any fin is possible. Overcoming obstacles and following your dreams are two other themes we find often in Luca. While most of us don’t have scales, we all have things in our life that seem a hindrance and weigh us down to prevent us from being able to do something we really want to. Luca can inspire all of us to follow our dreams deep inside of us.

Minnie Mouse Hot Cocoa Bombs are a super cute addition to the Hot Cocoa Bomb rage. Add some Disney Magic to your Hot Cocoa! It’s bound to put a smile on your face as well as the rest of the family!

Minnie Mouse Hot Cocoa Bombs

Makes 8-10 Hot Coco Minnie Mouse Bombs

Ingredients

2 Silicone Sphere Molds – found on amazon

1 – 30 oz of Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate melting wafers

2 cups of hot cocoa mix

1 disposable piping bag

1 cookie sheet fitted with wax paper

2 cups Mini Marshmallows

1 package of Wilton Royal Icing Bows

Directions

This part is 100% optional and a personal choice:

Cut the silicone molds so that each sphere mold is by itself as shown
here. I did this because I felt it was easier to control
the mold when working with the melted chocolate.

Making hot cocoa bombs

Use a paper towel or clean kitchen towel and wipe the inside of the
silicone molds. This will allow your chocolate mold to have a shiny
coat on it.

Remove about 16-20 size matching pieces of the melting wafers and set aside.
