Homemade Goldfish Crackers

This pin gives you a recipe to make your own goldfish crackers.  I gathered all of the ingredients and followed the directions.  While these did turn out I really did not like the taste of them.  It tasted like a big glob of cheese but I am sure there are some people who would like the test better than I did. I did not find it very practical because goldfish are so cheap and taste much better although they are processed which is the only bad thing about buying them.  If you are trying to quit eating processed foods then this is not a bad way to do that.  If you take about 1 hour a month you can double the recipe and make quite a bit of these.
