Trader Joe's is putting a citrus twist on a classic kids' snack with the debut of its new Cheery Lemon Animal Crackers.
Trader Joe's new Cheery Lemon Animal Crackers are no ordinary animal crackers. The "cheery" part of the name comes from the fact that each cracker is covered in a bright yellow yogurt coating that's got an authentic citrus aroma and zesty lemony zing, as well as a coating of crunchy rainbow-colored nonpareils. Additionally, the crackers also get their name from the fact that the actual biscuits inside are lightly sweetened and boast a satisfying crunch when bitten into.
Best of all, the new Cheery Lemon Animal Crackers come in single-serve packets, so it's easy to pop them in your child's lunch box or throw them in a bag for snacking on the go.
