An Addiction
It is completely my grandson's doing. I'd seen the colorful package before, with the gross looking vaguely animal shape cookies smothered in florescent frosting on the store shelves, but it never crossed my mind to eat any. They looked repulsive, and though I know you aren't supposed to judge a book by it's cover, in this case I felt relatively safe. Then came Max who became my frosted circus animals pusher. Sure, the first handful was free, but he knew I'd be back, and I was. Now I am addicted to frosted circus animals. This is a gateway cookie, the next step is the hard stuff - the "Parade of Cookies." Yes, there is a bag tucked deep in the cabinet. My apologies to Jin and the rest of you bakers but I am hopelessly addiced to these cookies.
Phos doens't officially endorse either "Mother's," or "Frosted Circus Animals,' nor are the HGH laced treats the official snack of the Olympics, though it probably shoud be.

addicted one.
My kids got a bag for easter and I couldn't leave them alone.
R-man: Not funny - can you imagine how many calories are in those things??? And there is no Cookies Anonymous program...
hammer: I won't even mention the gingerbread men - fortunately those only come out around X-mas.
home made stuff tastes better.
ll: Right you are ll!! But there's just something about these....
Hey it's been a long time since I ate frosted circus animals. Nostalgic yum!
'Mother's Cookies' - that's almost like home made :)
mjammi mjammi, send me a packet!

At most gas stations are packages of eight, little white donuts.(don't get the generic brand...they're laced in lard.I swear!)
the gig is, a pack of eight and two cups of coffee fill you till past lunchtime.
Put the cookies down....
set them down and back away.
(on a more serious note....aren't you one of infinitesmal's buddies?
Seems she could be reminded that friends are longer lasting than crap boyfriends.
That is soooooo funny!
Being a grandparent myself..I understand how these things happen.
HUGS!!
Ha ha ha
The Olympic as a Circus Chinatown!!! :-))
Frosted it is anyway :-D
awwwwwwwww......
maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan ...
i'm addicted to all kinds of cookies.
but for sure i thought these would be yuckie..
now i'll probably have to buy some on my next grocery store run..
and it'll be all your fault if i can't put them down.
:/
My addiction of choice is dark chocolate. Anything else is poison. tee hee.
Hahahaha...I know! Seriously, that stuff is like crack. I've eaten a whole bag that was supposed to belong to my son before just in one sitting.
sounds like
a twelve-step program
might be call for in this case
/t.
ha ha!!! enjoy z addiction while it lasts Phos! Be around soon... Ishaan is taking up most of my time at the moment..
Having a nephew who is three has reintroduced me to too many bad snacks I love to eat. :) Animal crackers included. I bought a container of Goldfish for myself the other day - I have NEVER done that before!
Sure, blame the baby!
Phos Phos Phos...
They are indeed addictive.
Literally!
Somewhere in those ingredients will be listed either:
1. artificial flavors
or
2. natural flavors
Unfortunately these are not regulated what-so-ever and chemicals that are said to be habit forming yet *safe* to consume are added into many items hiding within those two innocent words. In fact, I'll go so far as to say it is quite possible some manufactures know not what they are adding to their products.
I have links... and titles... but it would just depress the shit out of you.
Instead, I shall throw caution to the wind and proclaim that you insist mrs. phos bake you scratch made cookies weekly so you needn't consume the store-bought variety.
;-)
Sorry all, ate a couple bags and woke up two days later in a train station somewhere in Ohio, which is funny because I am not even sure where Ohio is. Time for a circus animal intervention.
I hope you have a good time wherever you end up.

Well... If you're going to have a vice, it's better to have a LEGAL vice, hee hee.
These are so tasty! There's something in that waxy thick frosting that gets you hooked.
Re-hab for you..
