Have you ever watched an animated movie and thought the food in the movie looked delicious? I have! Tiana's beignets in Disney's The Princess and the Frog attracted me from the get-go. The thought of French donuts blanketed with powdered sugar was so majestic, I had to try it.

Tiana and her "man-catching beignets"
A month ago, I ventured to my nearest World Market and picked up a box of Cafe Du Monde's Beignet Mix straight from New Orleans, Louisiana. I didn't have a chance to open the box until today, but I'm sure glad I waited! All you have to do is follow the directions on the box and watch the magic happen. One box makes two dozen beignets; I only used about a quarter of the mix today to make eight beignets. You definitely get your money's worth in quantity and taste!

I don't think I could have felt anymore like Princess Tiana. Beignets are seriously one of the best things I've ever eaten. I highly recommend you try them too if you haven't already! :)
