Notes

Tips
  • Use your favorite animal crackers! I love the Kirkland Organic Animal Crackers but the Trader Joe's Organic Animal Crackers and Whole Foods Organic Vanilla Animal Crackers are also so yummy!
  • I am using ColorKitchen Nonpareil Sprinkles in these Chocolate Dipped Animal Crackers, but if you want to use traditional rainbow sprinkles you can use those as well. My favorite are India Tree Nature's Colors Carnival Sprinkles. Or if you are looking for a more bright and vibrant sprinkle, then use India Tree Nature's Colors Fiesta Sprinkles. Shop all my favorite plant based sprinkles that are free of artificial dyes in my Amazon shop.
  • I don't temper the chocolate in this recipe, as I store them in the fridge as I like to eat them out of the fridge. If you want to serve them at a party, especially given the warm weather, I would definitely temper the chocolate! Follow my steps in How to Temper Chocolate for Candy Making if you'd like to do that.
