I re-created Disney World's gooey, s'mores-infused French toast, and it's my new favorite dessert

While I've tried countless snacks at Disney World over the years — from classic treats like Dole Whip to festival-exclusive drinks — there's one beloved dish I've never had the chance to taste: the s'mores French toast from Woody's Lunch Box in Hollywood Studios.

The breakfast dish disappeared from the spot's menu when the quick-service restaurant reopened in November 2020, and it's yet to return at the time of writing. Luckily, Disney has shared its recipe for the sugary treat in its new cookbook, "Delicious Disney: Walt Disney World: Recipes & Stories From the Most Magical Place on Earth," which is being released on April 19.

I decided to try out the recipe for myself, and am happy to report that I've found a new favorite dessert as a result.

Specifically, you'll need two eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, dark-chocolate morsels, brioche bread, mini marshmallows, and graham-cracker crumbs.

As for kitchen tools, you'll need an oven, mixing bowls, pots for double boiling, a whisk, a baking sheet, parchment paper, and spatulas.

I then mixed two eggs, 3/4 cup of milk, 3/4 cup of heavy cream, and one teaspoon of vanilla extract to create a batter that I'd later dunk toast slices into.

I first measured one and a half cups of dark-chocolate chips and melted them with the double-boiler method. Then I added a half-cup of cream to the liquid chocolate and whisked the mix until it was smooth.

I placed them in a Ziploc bag to avoid crumbs flying across the kitchen and used a food mallet to break them.

You can buy boxes of pre-crushed crumbs from many food stores, but I went the DIY route since I couldn't find them in my area. And as it turned out, crushing the crackers by hand was just as easy and probably a bit more fun.

I found that creating a sugar-filled assembly line is the key to perfecting this recipe. I made the French toast quickly and efficiently and avoided making a mess in the kitchen.

I first dunked two toast slices in the batter, coating them entirely in the mixture. I then coated each side with graham-cracker crumbs and dropped the two slices in a frying pan.

From there, I baked them in the oven for three minutes — or until I saw the marshmallows start to puff and turn brown.

The end result looks like a giant s'more made from bread. The treat was super hot and pretty giant, in my experience, so I cut mine into triangle sandwiches.

I thought the dark-chocolate flavor mixed perfectly with the fluffy, flavored toast, and the added marshmallows transported me to summers spent outside by a fire.

I do think the snack would have benefited from less chocolate and more marshmallows, but that's a personal preference that didn't alter my opinion of this dish. After all, I've continued to think about this French toast after just about every meal I've had since.

And when I made the toast for my sister the following day, she quickly exclaimed she'd rate it a 10/10.

I personally wouldn't make this French toast for breakfast considering it's beyond decadent — but I'd enjoy it just about any other time of the day.

I'm hopeful Disney brings back the official dish soon so I can see how the theme-park version tastes, but for now, it's safe to say I have a new favorite dessert I can make at home.
