What are chocolate covered goldfish?

Chocolate-covered Goldfish are a tasty treat that combines two popular snacks: chocolate and Goldfish crackers. These treats feature the iconic fish-shaped cheddar crackers made by Pepperidge Farm, but with a delicious twist – a coating of smooth, creamy chocolate.
The concept behind chocolate-covered Goldfish is simple but delicious. The familiar savory and cheesy taste of the classic Goldfish cracker is complemented and enhanced by the rich and sweet flavor of the chocolate coating. To create these delectable snacks, the Goldfish crackers are coated in a layer of chocolate. The chocolate used can vary, ranging from milk chocolate to dark chocolate or even white chocolate, depending on personal preference. However, in this recipe, milk chocolate is used. Some variations of chocolate-covered Goldfish also include additional toppings, such as colorful sprinkles, crushed nuts, or small candy pieces, adding more texture and flavors to the mix. The toppings not only add visual appeal but also bring unique tastes to each bite. Similarly, the type of chocolate used can be experimented with as can the flavor of goldfish used.
