While I didn't have a tiny goldfish cookie cutter to make the "authentic-looking" crackers from Classic Snacks by Casey Barber, I did have a tiny star... so gold"fish" became either gold"starfish" or simply gold "stars", depending on the audience. After the first round of baking was a bit of a fiasco (my fault for not taking into account smaller cutters), the next batch (made with a spelt/whole wheat pastry/AP flour mix, a dash of black pepper, and a combination of shredded Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese) was spot on.
For the adults, extra old Cheddar, a pinch of both jalapeno and chipotle chili powders and a chili pepper were on the menu - and were just as well received!
This month's #RecipeRedux is all about the grab n' go snacks we love - be they for road trips, airport lines or late night outdoor movie screenings!
