Food
Did you know? April 18 is National Animal Crackers Day and we’re ready to enjoy it to the fullest at our lovely Northridge apartments.
Put animal crackers on your shopping list so you’re ready on the perfect day to share them with friends and loved ones. Of course, there is a hashtag to share ideas: #NationalAnimalCrackersDay.
Here are three ways to get in on the animal crackers fun, each one sure to inspire more.
USE ANIMAL CRACKERS AS CUPCAKE TOPPERS
Completely revel in your joy about the day with animals garnishing your sweet cupcakes. Animal crackers can garnish the periphery of a pie too, so that each slice has its own animal.
To be a bit subtler, crush them into a pie crust! Instead of the graham cracker staple, try animal crackers in your go-to recipe. These cookies make a delicious pie crust your friends will love.
CREATE FESTIVE GIFTS
Wrap them in small, clear cylinders, bags, or boxes. Tie them smartly with a bow. Then bring them to classes or pass them out at a meeting. Animal crackers are adorable in see-through gift packs.
MAKE PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICHES
Great with apple slices. Bring a tray for your protein-loving hiking buddies. Don’t forget Pinterest to find plenty of festive, cookie-focused yet healthful ideas.
WATCHING YOUR SODIUM INTAKE OR PREFER ORGANIC?
While they were associated with Barnum and the circus back in the day, animal crackers have come a long way. Organic animal crackers at Trader Joe’s, for example, are low-sodium delights and a great deal. And you know what’s pretty great? They don’t use animal products in their animal crackers. At Candlewood North Apartments, there are many Trader Joe’s conveniently near our community!
