goodbye/fun facts....national animal cracker day...Animal crackers have been part of American childhood memories since the late 1800s when they were first imported from England where animal crackers were invented. Stauffer’s Biscuit Company began commercially producing their original recipe circus crackers in 1871. Stauffer’s unique baking process created a slightly sweet, crispy, cracker-like biscuit that dominated the market...until 1902 when competitor National Biscuit Company, a.k.a. Nabisco, introduced their brand of animal crackers packaged in small boxes that looked like P.T. Barnum circus train cars.  were initially sold as Christmas tree ornaments which is why they had a string on them...But not all animal crackers are created equal and many people still preferred the original Stauffer’s Animal Crackers recipe...which is still produced using the original 1871 recipe.
