Cheese Fish Crackers Recipe

Like those other cheese fish crackers, these are delicious. I love that I control the ingredients. I can change up the cheese to suit taste buds, and vary the herbs and spices, and the best part, my kiddos LOVE making these. They consume them like fish food and come back asking for more!

Makes about 3 cups crackers. Snacks are best homemade and these adorable fish are not only fun to make but tasty.
