It is shockingly difficult to find any treat that really hits E’s sweet tooth. For him to actually describe something as ‘rich’ basically means that the average human would find it near-unbearable. And this circus animal cracker fudge toes that line. The sugar factor is high, but with vibrant colors and varied textures every bite is an adventurous mouthful. I love how these nuggets could make a simple hostess gift or be a dessert table centerpiece. See full details below.
