Here is a link to a fun website with elephant themed foods. If the site isn't working for you, I will list the foods and how to make them. Note: I copy and pasted the exact words from the site. The words do not belong to me.

Sorry, that was a lot of information, so I had to add a read more break. Anyway, if you do end up making these, tweet them to @elephantlove8. I think that is my username. I know, how unprofessional. But if that doesn't work, the name is Elephant Lover. These treats sound so good to me. Especially the elephant ears. Wait, I guess the title is a little untruthful. You will be eating elephants . . . No, no you won't. Please comment if you think these would taste good too!
