The Elephant Sanctuary | Grandma's Molasses
The Elephant Sanctuary is reminding everyone of our ongoing Adopt an Elephant Campaign sponsored by Grandma's Molasses. Since 2008, Grandma's Molasses has donated an annual supply of molasses which is mixed in with their daily grains to entice the elephants to take their dietary supplements and medicine, concealing the bitter taste with its flavorful sweetness. Watch African elephants, Flora and Tange, enjoy their molasses sweetened treat.
Sprinkle Bakes, online recipe blogger, has created a delicious recipe uses Grandma's Molasses in a recipe for Elephant Bread -- created especially for The Sanctuary's Adopt an Elephant Campaign. You can show your support of Elephant Awareness Month and receive a copy of the Elephant Bread Recipe by adopting an elephant in October.
