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.

Cerrado los lunes! 😟☀️ We showed up at the zoo onl Cerrado los lunes! 😟☀️ We showed up at the zoo only to discover it was closed on Mondays. 

Thankfully, our family has gotten pretty good at pivoting when plans change. Instead of heading home, we set off on a mile-long walk to Centro Histórico Mérida and turned an unexpected detour into an adventure.

We explored local markets, enjoyed tacos and sopa de lima for lunch, and let the kids burn off energy at a park. The Mérida heat definitely called for a treat, so we stopped for fruit bars that cost just 40 pesos (about $2.50) each. We made it home just in time for Juliet’s nap!

Next time, we’ll check the zoo schedule before we go. But honestly, this unexpected change of plans turned into a pretty great day!

✨ Takeaways:

• Travel helps build resilient kids. When plans change, they learn to adapt, stay positive, and enjoy the adventure anyway.

• Some of our best experiences happen when things don’t go as planned. The zoo will still be there another day! 🦓🐊🦛

• We’re growing in Spanish every day. The kids are becoming more confident with pronunciation, casual phrases, and new vocabulary as we navigate life in Mexico.

💬 What do you want to know about our life in Mexico?

Hola from Mérida! 🇲🇽☀️ Our first week has been cha Hola from Mérida! 🇲🇽☀️ Our first week has been challenging and rewarding as we settle into life in Mexico with our 4 kids!

• We’re finding our new normal, discovering favorite stores, trying grocery delivery, getting used to air-drying clothes and doing dishes (no clothes dryer or dishwasher). 

 • We’ve almost finished all steps for receiving our family’s permanent residency cards. Praying for successful completion!

 • Also experiencing frequent tropical afternoon downpours, magnificent and soaking! 🌴

 • Being without city water for 20 hours, which impacted washing dishes and taking showers. We used our rooftop water tank sparingly. 

 • House hunting & touring several long term rental houses; we hope to find a good fit for our stay-at-home lifestyle and hosting too!

I keep reminding myself that we moved here! We’re not just visiting for a few weeks. 🤯😄

Overall, we’re grateful. ☀️🙂 It’s been a good first week, and we’re excited to continue settling in and discovering what life in Mérida has in store for our family!
