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.

Don’t think it would be my thing unless they were the grahams.

๐Ÿ’ก Essential tips for traveling with our 4 kids! ๐Ÿ’ก Essential tips for traveling with our 4 kids!

๐Ÿงณ Pack light with items that do more

We bring clothes that mix and match, quick-dry layers, fold-flat totes, and activities that encourage creativity. Think art supplies and travel board games. The less we carry, the more we can explore.

๐Ÿฅช Eat often and try new flavors
We use snack stops and meals to experience local culture. Bakeries, fruit stands, and small cafรฉs become our favorite spots. 

๐Ÿž๏ธ Choose simple adventures over packed days
We go on kid-friendly hikes, stop at playgrounds, and tour cultural centers. We visit great houses, historic workhouses, and local museums.

๐Ÿ“ฑ Use screens sparingly
Ideally our kids only use screens on travel days, and with a time limit. Shows and multi-player games can help turn dull afternoons into family fun!

๐Ÿ”ฆ Encourage curiosity
We explore as much as we can with our four kids, shopping at markets, using public transportation, and visiting immersive attractions. We find many free activities, and budget for must-see destinations. 

โžก๏ธ Which of these travel tips would help your family the most?

We visited the Trevi Fountain in Rome during Easte We visited the Trevi Fountain in Rome during Easter weekend. โ›ฒ๏ธโœจ Even though the streets of Rome were packed, this site had crowd control security, who only let a few people down in front of the fountain at a time.

We stood in line for 10 minutes, and were given unrushed time to take photos and video clips in front of this iconic landmark. ๐Ÿ“ธ We have no idea whether this is normal, but it was such a special highlight in Rome!

๐ŸŒ‰ Destination Highlight: Tower Bridge, London! ๐ŸŒ‰ Destination Highlight: Tower Bridge, London! ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

Tower Bridge ended up being such a memorable stop! The walkways offer amazing views of the River Thames and the city skyline.

โœจ Fun facts:

Tower Bridge opened in 1894 after eight years of construction.

Itโ€™s a bascule bridge, meaning the roadway lifts up for tall ships to pass through.

The glass floor walkways were added in 2014, giving visitors a thrilling (and slightly scary!) perspective from 138 feet above the Thames.

Our kids loved learning how the bridge lifts up using giant counterweights, and we all left with a new appreciation for Londonโ€™s engineering and history. ๐Ÿ’™

Would you be brave enough to walk across the glass floor? ๐Ÿ˜„
