After eating lunch at Rancho Del Zocalo last Friday afternoon, it was time to stop by Maurice's Treats ( https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/maurices-treats-anaheim?select=hXs4jIcaFUKeyFpihLbEvw ) for my favorite meal of the day!
For those who may not recognize the name Maurice, he was the father of Belle from Beauty and the Beast and the cart is located next to the Royal Theater just left of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. The lines here aren't too bad here in between the Royal Theater show times, but they can't get quite long when a play is in progress at the theater.
The menu ( https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/maurices-treats-anaheim?select=oL3Ghd6IC0bYdI8iqinBDA ) is very small consisting of four twist flavors (Pumpkin is the current seasonal flavor), Boysen Apple Freeze and Dasanti Bottled Water.
My better half has a thing for twists ( https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/maurices-treats-anaheim?select=Iwxrv49txb44pfdbnj8FWg ), so the chocolate twist was a must try for dessert. I heard the Cheddar Garlic Bagel Twist ( https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/maurices-treats-anaheim?select=d3aTHq13b5BlZfkjYpz6og ) calling to me, so we grabbed one of those for later.
The first time we visited this cart a few weeks ago, the boysenberry syrup was out of stock, but as we were leaving people getting the Boysen Apple Freeze ( https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/maurices-treats-anaheim?select=v3tyi-pKJSYd9GxwGXDX-g ), so we leapt back in line for something cold to drink. I am a boysenberry fiend!
We were somewhat disappointed with the chocolate twist, it needed more chocolate, powdered sugar and it wasn't nearly flaky enough. I am not going to say it was stale, but it did taste like it had been sitting for a while. I would not waste my dessert caloric allowance on this particular item again.
Rohlinism: It is a dietary sin to waste your dessert calories!
In contrast, the Boysen Apple Freeze belongs in a Poison Apple Souvenir Cup, because it is dangerously delicious! Laina almost told them to skip the "whipped cream" on top, but it is actually Passion Fruit Mango Foam and a necessary element to this coolicious drink. The slight tartness from the passion fruit completely balances out this otherwise very sweet treat. I also loved the combination of the frozen apple juice and boysenberry syrup and this concoction has replaced the Wild Cherry Blue Raspberry as my favorite soft frozen drink!
I brought the Cheddar Garlic Bagel Twist home, warmed it up, added some butter and this was a really good carb. There was a good amount of garlic flavor and cheddar cheese in the bagel twist. I thought the addition of poppy and sesame seeds was a nice subtle touch. The bagel twist also seemed fresher than its dessert counterpart.
I would come back here for the Boysen Apple Freeze on its own, but I thought the bagel twist was also worth additional purchases!
