Goldfish crackers are small, fish-shaped snacks made primarily from wheat flour, cheese, and seasonings. They are baked, not fried, which gives them a light and crispy texture. These snacks come in various flavors, including cheddar, pizza, and pretzel, making them popular among both children and adults. Originally created by Pepperidge Farm in 1962, Goldfish crackers have become a staple in many households. They are often enjoyed as a snack on their own or used in lunchboxes. Their playful shape and variety of flavors contribute to their appeal, making them a favorite for parties and gatherings.
