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.

Will have to try these
My kiddos would love these. I probably would too! I would love to try the pretzel fish or the cookie ones in chocolate too!
What a wonderful way to dress up those fishes, I know my grandchildren would love help making these.
Why haven’t I thought of this? Lol My kids would love these!
Oh my gosh my daughter would love those!!! She’s crazy about Goldfish and crazy about chocolate!
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.
These sound good, and then a few seconds later, they don’t. hahaha but I’m pregnant so that may be why.
Yummy! My kids love would love this special treat 🙂
I would never have thought of this. Looks yummy, we love goldfish!
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.
what a great idea – sweet and salty!
This looks like such a fun snack!
