This snack mix is loaded with Goldfish crackers, pretzels, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, dried cranberries, shredded coconut and more. An easy, grab by the handful snack mix that’s perfect for kids OR adults!
There’s something about a good snack mix that’s just so fun. It’s fun to make, fun to eat, and always WAY more fun than the sum of its parts.
I can remember all the way back in grade school, making up different snack mixes with my friends. And there was one in particular we always came back to. We called it “Bohemian Party Mix” and when I say it had everything… it literally did. From chocolate to peanut butter to potato chips and pretzels, it was everything you could want in a party mix. And then some.
Well… this Goldfish Snack Mix isn’t QUITE as loaded as the Bohemian Party Mix from my childhood… but it’s equally delicious (and a whole lot less messy!) Made with just 8 ingredients and ready in just 5 minutes, it’s everything you’re looking for in your new favorite snack!
what you’ll need for this recipe
Goldfish Crackers – Goldfish crackers are the main ingredient in this snack mix. I used 4 cups, but you can use more or less according to your tastes.
Pretzel Crisps – I also added 1 cup of salted Pretzel Crisps, broken into pieces. Mini Pretzel Crisps would be perfect in this recipe!
Chocolate chunks – 1/3 cup of chocolate chunks helps balance out the saltiness. Feel free to substitute chocolate chips or chopped Hershey bars depending on what you have on hand.
Peanut butter chips – I also added 1/3 cup of peanut butter chips for delicious peanut butter flavor.
White chocolate chips – 1/3 cup of white chocolate chips adds extra sweetness to the mix/
Cocoa almonds – 1/3 cup of cocoa dusted almonds is a fun, crunchy addition that also adds some protein to the mix. Feel free to substitute raw or salted almonds OR peanuts.
Dried cranberries – I used 1/3 cup of dried cranberries (Craisins) for yet another texture and flavor.
Shredded coconut – Finally, 1/3 cup of shredded, sweetened coconut is the perfect finishing touch!

Just recently we had a fabulous picnic at the zoo complete with goldfish and spent a wonderful afternoon exploring there. It was great!

Our Goldfish Moments are doing mundane things together 🙂 Cooking dinner, household chores and other stuff that is usually “boring”. By making them fun with the kids, we’ll have time together and lots of great memories. Plus, the chores will be more fun too! 🙂

My kids have been eating Goldfish Crackers since they were very little and still grab for them when we take road trips, go hiking or hop on our bicycles. I enjoy them too, my favorite are the Pretzels.

I was recently in the store with my (20 something) daughter. She said “Oh, Goldfishes…so delicious” and grabs a bag and threw them in the cart. At least now she can buy them!
One of my favorite moments is seeing the joy on the kids faces when they eat them

I used to like to take my kids up to the hills with our snacks of goldfish crackers and watch the thunderstorm roll in.
It’s nice to share a fun snack with my kids.
I don’t think my kids have ever had Goldfish!
We used goldfish crackers for counting when the kids were little.
We take them on our road trips.

My goldfish moment is when my son leaves a few on the table and our dog climbs the table to eat them but is too scared to get back down.

The first time I tried Goldfish, I was a high school junior. I bought the Parmesan ones while on vacation with my then boyfriend’s family (he is my hubby now :-D). I have been a fan every since!
We take them on picnics.
One of my Goldfish moments is snacking on Goldfish with my daughter on the plane.
Goldfish crackers are a great snack at the soccer field and a wonderful add-in to tomato soup on a cold winter day.
We usually take a snack with us, and Goldfish is one of them, so we can have a picnic in the car.
We add this to macaroni and cheese!
Goldfish crackers are often my boys’ after game snacks. So they love eating their goldfish on the way home and discussing the games.
We use goldfish as bingo markers than eat them up when we are done!!!
I often have goldfish moments in the car since the calm my kiddos down
