There are certain things that you just can’t wait to share with your offspring; participating in holiday traditions, playing your favorite board game and indulging in your favorite childhood treat. I was heart broken earlier this year when I thought I would never able to share my own childhood junk food guilty pleasure with my own daughter, the sinfully sugary delight that is Mother’s Circus Animals.
Mother's Cake & Cookie Co., the makers of this hot pink and white, frosted and colorfully sprinkled confections, filed Chapter 11 last October. The factory was in San Francisco, my hometown, and it had operated there for 92 years. Being that is was a home grown delicacy made it seem all the more close to my heart (and cavities).
But my daughter and I now have a reason to celebrate and invest in more tooth paste. Kellogg’s, the maker of Frosted Flakes, Cheez-it’s and Eggos, has bought the recipes of all of Mom’s goodies, which includes such superstar treats like Chips Deluxe, Fudge Shoppe, Sandies and the Circus Animals. No word on when he new incarnation of the cookies will hit the market, but I do relish the day when I can let my kid bite into a piece of my own childhood. Unheathy, yes. But worth it? Ohhhh yes.
