Chocolate Goldfish Snacks

by Katie Wallace | Updated: June 22, 2022

If your kids like chocolate and goldfish crackers, these tasty DIY treats are sure to make them smile. Combine two of America’s most popular snacks and what do you get? Chocolate covered goldfish! In a few easy steps, we dipped original cheddar fish crackers in melted chocolate chips. Why not give them a try yourself?

Chocolate covered goldfish crackers are a fun snack for kids, teens, and adults! To make them, you can use any kind of melted chocolate, such as milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and semi-sweet chocolate. It’s simple, chocolate chips already come in small pieces which make them easy to melt! Additionally, making homemade snacks is an interactive kids activity!

Chocolate Goldfish Crackers

1. Begin by melting chocolate chips (or another type of chocolate).
2. Dip each goldfish in the melted chocolate.
3. Allow the fish crackers to dry on parchment paper.
4. Enjoy your homemade treats!

Before you melt the chocolate, prepare your workspace by placing a sheet of parchment paper on a plate. Next, fill a small microwave safe container half full with chocolate chips. Melt the chocolate chips for 30 seconds in the microwave. Stir the chocolate chips, and if needed, microwave them for 30 seconds more, until fully melted.

Dip Crackers in Chocolate

Next, stir the melted chocolate with a spoon to make sure it’s fully smooth. Dip each goldfish by placing them a few crackers at a time into the melted chocolate. Use a spoon to flip each cracker over once. When fully coated, carefully place each chocolate dipped goldfish onto the parchment paper lined plate.

These chocolate cheddar snacks are fun for a movie night or afternoon snack time. The melted chocolate can get a bit sticky on a warm summer day, so it’s best to enjoy them quickly. If kids like fish crackers and chocolate, then they will likely enjoy the rich flavor of chocolate covered goldfish.

What Elicia said. Maybe those little teddy Graham’s dipped in chocolate would be my jam. Either way, thanks for the idea! Opens a whole world of possibilities.

This dipped chocolate goldfish look yummy and maybe my kids would love eating goldfish if I did this, rather than giving it to them plain.

What an idea. Who would ever think to dip fish into chocolate?
Don’t think it would be my thing unless they were the grahams.

Airbnb makes traveling with kids so flexible! But Airbnb makes traveling with kids so flexible! But weโ€™ve had to buy some household essentials for our stays. We usually bring our own:

trash bags, cleaning supplies, laundry soap & stain remover, sponges & dish brushes, extra toilet paper, sometimes cute decor! ๐Ÿ˜† 

The reason for this is that Airbnbs are usually not stocked with household supplies. I have my own go-to to favorite products for wiping countertops and doing laundry. 

Additionally, when we travel, we often stay in 5 to 10 Airbnbs, and itโ€™s nice to have our household essentials with us. 

Which household essentials can you not do without while traveling? ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿงป

๐Ÿ“ Ripon Prison Museum - Step back into the earl ๐Ÿ“ Ripon Prison Museum - Step back into the early 1800s in Yorkshire, England, where crime came with serious consequences. Even children were punished with prison time for stealing food or property. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

We walked through cold cells and learned about the forced labor and bleak meals given to inmates. This glimpse into Victorian prison life was sobering, but such a powerful experience for our kids.
