Frosted Animal Crackers {custom colors}

Baby shower season is HERE! Can I tell you how many people we know right now who are expecting? Too many to count!

I think animal crackers make a perfect party favor, but who wants to serve pink and white cookies when your shower colors are yellow, blue or green? What about purple, orange or red? {I know they have seasonal animal crackers with different colors, but if you are like me and thinking six months ahead of time is impossible!}

Aside from color choices, I am not always thrilled with the ingredients...so here is what I came up with...make them yourself in whatever color or shade you would like. Mix and Match and have fun. The possibilities are endless.

Ingredients:

Organic animal crackers {Trader Joe's}

Candy melts or white chocolate...if you don't mind a bit lumpy and thick

Food coloring in whatever color your little heart desires!

SPRINKLES

Directions:

*Lay the lil critters on a cooling rack...top side up.




*Melt candy in microwave in small increments...as not to scorch it.

*Add food coloring and stir.

*Dip each animal cookie {top side down} into melted candy.

*Sprinkle with sprinkles...and freeze for quick set-up!







"Animal crackers, and cocoa to drink,

That is the finest of suppers, I think;

When I'm grown up and can have what I please

I think I shall always insist upon these."
