Barnum's Animal Cracker Snack-Sampled by -- Tasty Dish --

Submitted by COOKGIRl

"Although I am a yet a toddler I've been feeling nostalgic lately! Every year at Christmas, we receive (Daddy included!) a box of Barnum's Animal Crackers in our stockings! Did you know that the Barnum's Animal Cracker box was originally designed to hang on the Christmas tree, hence the reason for the string attached to the box? I think it would be fun to add some fresh parsley sprigs (pretend trees). Discovered on yumsugar.com. via Kraft.com."

• 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (can substitute cream cheese, sunflower butter, cashew butter, etc.)
