Chocolate-Drizzled Pineapple Skewers Inspired By Disney's Aulani Resort

With growing global pandemic fears over the last few months, so many different aspects of society have changed. One of the biggest industries to be affected is the tourism industry and a lot of Disney lovers worldwide have had to cancel upcoming trips due to health concerns.

Although we are all understanding of park and resort closures worldwide and grateful for Disney’s precautions to keep their guests and employees safe — it is sad nonetheless. 

Bringing Vacation Home

But even though we can’t physically visit some of our favorite Disney vacation spots for the time being, with a little creativity we can bring the vacation to our homes!

One great way to do this is by trying out some of the nostalgic treats that are offered at or inspired by the various Disney resorts! Luckily, Disney is kind enough to frequently share these easy to follow recipes.

One of my favorites that they shared is a sweet tropical treat — chocolate drizzled pineapple skewers — created by food blogger Jenny Flake. This delicious dessert is inspired by Disney’s Aulani Resort in Ko Olina, Hawai’i.
