Jungle Cruise is a wild ride you won’t want to miss. Join Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt for the adventure of a lifetime on Disney’s “Jungle Cruise,” a rollicking thrill-ride down the Amazon with wisecracking skipper Frank Wolff and intrepid researcher Dr. Lily Houghton. Lily travels from London, England to the Amazon jungle and enlists Frank’s questionable services to guide her downriver on La Quila—his ramshackle-but-charming boat. Lily is determined to uncover an ancient tree with unparalleled healing abilities—possessing the power to change the future of medicine. Thrust on this epic quest together, the unlikely duo encounters innumerable dangers and supernatural forces, all lurking in the deceptive beauty of the lush rainforest. But as the secrets of the lost tree unfold, the stakes reach even higher for Lily and Frank and their fate—and mankind’s—hangs in the balance.

Jaume Collet-Serra directs the film, which stars Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, Edgar Ramírez and Jack Whitehall, with Jesse Plemons, and Paul Giamatti. John Davis, John Fox, Dwayne Johnson, Hiram Garcia, Dany Garcia and Beau Flynn are the producers, with Scott Sheldon and Doug Merrifield serving as executive producers. The story is by John Norville & Josh Goldstein and Glenn Ficarra & John Requa, and the screenplay is by Michael Green and Glenn Ficarra & John Requa.

Disney’s “Jungle Cruise” releases in theaters and on Disney+ with Premier Access on July 30, 2021.

Minnie Mouse Hot Cocoa Bombs

Makes 8-10 Hot Coco Minnie Mouse Bombs

Ingredients

2 Silicone Sphere Molds – found on amazon

1 – 30 oz of Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate melting wafers

2 cups of hot cocoa mix

1 disposable piping bag

1 cookie sheet fitted with wax paper

2 cups Mini Marshmallows

1 package of Wilton Royal Icing Bows

Directions

This part is 100% optional and a personal choice:

Cut the silicone molds so that each sphere mold is by itself as shown
here. I did this because I felt it was easier to control
the mold when working with the melted chocolate.

Making hot cocoa bombs

Use a paper towel or clean kitchen towel and wipe the inside of the
silicone molds. This will allow your chocolate mold to have a shiny
coat on it.

Remove about 16-20 size matching pieces of the melting wafers and set aside.
