Mother's Circus Animal Cookies Live On!

Ever since Mother's Cookie Company shut down, I've been mourning the loss of their delicious Circus Animal Cookies. Many of you felt my pain and sent me bags upon bags so that I could get my fix. I seriously have like 20 bags stuffed in my closet and freezer. I was hoping my stash would last me at least until the end of the year, but now I don't have to worry!

Kellogg Company has bought all of Mother's recipes and plan to reintroduce their cookies sometime soon. The deal will be finalized today. Hallelujah!

This means that I can open up all my bags and spread them all over the bed. I can roll around in them and kiss their frosted face without guilt, because new shipments are coming in! Unless, Kellogg commits a crime against humanity and changes the recipe. Seriously, they better not alter one thing. That recipe is GOLD. I'm going to be checking to make sure the shade of pink is perfect and the sprinkles are the exact size of the originals. If even one little thing is different, Tony the Tiger better grab his shank, because it's going to be war.

Kellogg's Keebler Elves version SUCKS ASS. Barely any sprinkles and the frosting coats my mouth with a strange taste and texture.

They're not my cup of tea, but I'm happy for those who are fans that the cookies will live on... somehow.

Best animal cookies in the world are the Barnum & Bailey cookies in the small box w/the string on it. I used to wear it like a purse as a youngin.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed! I found a knock-off made my the Keebler Elves that turned out to be the nastiest things under the sun. I blogged about them and the cookies look like puke when you open the bag.

I'm holding on to hope that Kellogg doesn't short change us.

Those things taste like sweet paint. And they hurt my teeth when I bite into them. Why do you like them so much anyway?

MargeAggedon is right, they'll eff with the recipe, sure as sh*t. Don't start unwrapping yet, MK!

ETA, you need to save a pack to do a blind taste test, once the Kellog's version comes out.

They seem to be too sweet for me, but what do I know? We don't have those here in Brazil.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hey now, when I lived in Brazil I saw that they sold cookies packaged with a small can of CONDENSED MILK for you to sip on or dip your cookies into...

Let's not also forget about "pau na coxa", which is wine and condensed milk.

Come on, leite condensado?!

ImpertinentVixen Thanks! I have been trying figure out the name for these cookies for years... as well as figuring out wtf happened to them. Those damn elves killed my favorite cookie... those heartless bastards.

If they thought they could get away with it they'd be making them with plaster, sparkle paint and sugar.

My favorite crack cookie is Archway's Mexican wedding cakes
~~~~~~~~~~~

They are little round balls of goodness! It's a vanilla butter cookie with pecans & walnuts in them and rolled in powdered sugar. I think the Archway ones have cashews in them too. They are SO GOOD fresh out of the oven. My mouth is watering:)

Crime against humanity in 3.. 2.....

If you think they won't change the whole recipe in their search for cheaper ingredients think again.

If they thought they could get away with it they'd be making them with plaster, sparkle paint and sugar.

Random Cookie question...
Anyone remember those cookies in the 80's/90's that were like lemony and had like white powdered sugar on them? I think they were called Lemon Breeze or something like that. I have been looking for them for years!

I remember those! My mom would buy them for my stepdad but I would sneak them and lick all the powdered sugar off of them and put them back in the box...lmao!

My bad Vanz! Oh you know it was the chocolate ones, duh! Them shits were so good and they turned your milk chocolately when you ate them with a bowl of milk. The cinnamon ones were alright too, but I got burnt out on them cause I use to sneak and eat the bags that we gave out to the little kids at my last resteraunt job,lol. Damn, now I gotta go run up to Publix and buy me some now.

Chocolate.... yum. If it wasn't those, it was definately the honey one's in my tummy. High five to you!

You can't throw out Teddy Grams without sayin' which one was your favorite! That's almost snack blasphemy!

Speaking of Teddy Grams, does anybody remember the kind that had chocolate frosting and sprinkles on the back of the crackers? Do they still make them? Or am I completely insane and they never actually existed...?

I too hate it when they change recipees. For instance, they changed the vanilla Girl Guide Cookies in Canada and they suck now.
