Despite my best pioneer woman intentions, more often than not you will find one or two open plastic tubs of Trader Joe's animal crackers in my pantry. The kid loves them. I find them a bit dull, but wearing chocolate boots... well now, that's another story. Then, they're both adorable and delicious.
I imagine the "recipe" is fairly obvious, but here it is none the less: chop up a few squares of chocolate (I used 5 squares of Trader Joe's 72%) and microwave until melted (for me that was 1 1/2 minutes on 50% heat). Dip animals. Let cool until hardened on wax paper or a silpat mat.
Now, I am resisting the urge to set up a miniature parade route through my kitchen. Really, I have more important things to be doing. I swear.
