ENDED! Happy Birthday Animal Crackers! Cookie Cutter Giveaway - ENDED!


This Giveaway has ENDED!




According to The Nibble, today is the birthday of animal crackers!

So, let's have a party!

I'm going to make a delicious after-school snack for the girls...of course, it will contain animal crackers ;-)

And for you...here's a list of delicious animal cracker recipes and a giveaway!


But first, I have a funny story to tell you.

My oldest daughter loved animal crackers when she was little, but she always bit the head off first. While, I always wondered why she did it that way, I never asked until she was around five. Surprisingly, her answer was - "It's more humane that way".

Well, let's just say my husband and I about died laughing.

How could that comment come out of a 5 year old? So, I asked her where in the world she heard such a thing?!

And of course, television was the answer. She heard it on a cartoon.

  5. First, please don't send men with a white jacket after me...I like to snap the heads off and mix the heads and bodies to create new animals. Then, I eat the head, legs and finally the bodies. I actually got my 4 year old doing it too!

  13. It depends. I do it every way possible. Sometimes I break off the legs, sometimes I break off the head, and sometimes I have no mercy and just shove it in my mouth :)

  26. I'm not sure I've ever eaten animal crackers. I like gingerbread men though... I eat the legs, then the arms, then goes the head before the rest of it.
