  • Animal Crackers are traditionally a sweet, crisp cookie in the shape of a zoo or circus animal. It is debatable whether they should be classified as crackers or cookies. Animal crackers typically come in a box with a handle attached.
  • Animal Cracker History

    Animal-shaped cookies were imported to the United States from England in the late 1800s. They became such a popular item that bakeries began to make their own. Animal crackers were first sold under the Barnum name in 1902 and were packaged in abox with a string attached.


    The number and variety of the cookies has changed over time. 54 different animals have appeared in the animal crackers line, with visual details improving over the years. 40 million packages of Barnum's Animal Crackers are sold each year in the U.S. and other countries.
