Animal cracker
Encyclopedia : A : AN : ANI : Animal cracker
Animal crackers are sweet crackers in the shapes of animals. These are usually animals you would see at the zoo, including lions, tigers, bears, and elephants. There is debate about whether or not Animal Crackers are actually crackers or cookies. They are like crackers due to they way they are made, with layered dough, however the use of sweetened dough gives them the cookie taste and consistency. Traditionally they come in a box with a handle on the top.
Nabisco makes Barnum's Animal Crackers. Austin, a division of Keebler, also makes a variety of animal crackers. Although not nearly as popular, the Austin-variety has similar nutritional content and animal shapes.
