Goldfish Drops
This month I’ve been on a no-bake treats kick! I love how easy these little sweets are to whip up and you can pretty much add any ingredient you like! I remember seeing this Betty Crocker recipe for Goldfish Drops a few years ago. My kids ate Goldfish crackers like they were going out of style when they were little. These tasty confections are similar to my recipe for No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Haystacks. It’s basically melting your base and adding in the various ingredients. This recipe for Goldfish Drops has butterscotch chips, original Goldfish crackers and pretzels. I’ve also made them with white chocolate chips, peanuts and vanilla Goldfish crackers.
Goldfish Drops
Ingredients:
- 1 package of butterscotch chips (about 1½ cups)
- 1 tbsp shortening
- 1 cup pretzels
- 2 cups original Goldfish crackers
Directions:
- In a saucepan, melt the butterscotch and shortening over low heat, stirring often. Remove from heat.
- Stir in pretzels and Goldfish crackers.
- Drop by tablespoons onto wax paper. Leave to set at least an hour. Serve once butterscotch is firm. Makes about 18 to 20 drops.
They are sweet and a just a little bit salty thanks to the addition of the pretzels. And lots of crunch!
The last batch I made did not last very long!
I would have never thought to use goldfish in treat like this. Thanks for the idea, I’m sure my kids will love this..

This looks delicious, very creative, I think I would go a step further and cover it in dark chocolate. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
I like the idea of peanut butter and pretzels added. It would be a nice snack to have around.

THese look good and I imagine that they are not super sweet because of the goldfish and the pretzels in the, I think that my granddaughters and I would like to try these, I have printed out the recipe, Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Thanks for sharing. Have always just used them as is.
I love sweet and salty from the new Chips Ahoy cookies to caramel and cheddar popcorn and potato chips with chocolate frosting. I would have never thought of this though. Love the idea, ease, and versatility. My grocery store has store brand puffins that are puffin shaped crackers. My grand kids live in Florida and think they are really cute. They would love puffin drops.
