My son is obsessed with cheese crackers. I mean obsessed. He could probably live on Goldfish, Cheese Nips, Whales….all of them! So when I saw Katrina make Homemade Cheese Nips, I was in awe! I knew I had to do it. But I don’t have the cute pastry cutter she has, so I had to do something else. Then I saw Miss Anthropist’s Kitchen made her own goldfish cracker cutter! I was all over this!
This recipe is SUPER easy! I told a friend I was making these, and she laughed at me. She said please tell me you are joking, and that is just code for you didn’t make anything that today. Nope, I made them, and they are easy. Ok, I will admit the goldfish part gets kind of annoying. I made a tiny cutter, so it just was time consuming. But if you cut them in squares like Cheese Nips, you would be done in no time! With the last bit of dough I got out our new Star Wars Sandwich Cutter and made a giant Tie Fighter and Millennium Falcon! So if you have kids, go make these!!! My husband has eaten his fair share, so even if you don’t have kids try it!

I saw Katrina's blog and am making these for my father – he's goldfish/cheese nip crazy, too! He's going to be 81 this winter, so what do you get a guy who has everything and needs nothing? The fish are adorable!

What's with the goldfish? I love the orangey colour they remind me of Wotsits (it's a British thing). I'm strangely drawn!
