Make your favorite cartoon dragon, Mushu from Mulan, into a tasty rice crispy treat.
The live-action Mulan comes to Disney+ on September 4th with Disney Premier Access. Unfortunately, we won’t get to see Mushu in the film, but we can still celebrate his funny character. Mulan is such an inspiring story based on the Chinese folklore story of Hua Mulan. Mushu was a Disney addition in the animated feature.
These Mushu rice crispy treats are a great addition to a themed Mulan party. Rice crispy treats are one of those versatile desserts to decorate in fun ways. It’s always a good idea to have some fondant on hand if you like decorating desserts.
