"The internet is very into Rice Krispies treats...made with Goldfish, that is. The original video is from Erin Silberman (@seriousfoodfetish), and the method is exactly what you think: melt butter, melt marshmallows, fold in a mountain of cheddar crackers, press, cool, and slice. I was officially intrigued, so I committed and made a pan start to finish. No tweaks, just the Goldfish take, as-is, to see where it landed."
"To make this a proper scientific study, I made a control pan (classic Rice Krispies) and, for fun, a curveball for friendly competition: Erin's Cheez-It version (which, you guessed it, swaps the Goldfish for Cheez-Its). Final call from our house: mixed verdict. The Goldfish version won points for salty-sweet and that extra crunchy bite. The Cheez-It version came through as the sharper, saltier cousin that a couple of us liked in smaller squares. And classic still held the crown for soft, buttery marshmallow nostalgia."
A trend replaces Rice Krispies cereal with Goldfish crackers to make marshmallow bars by melting butter and marshmallows, then folding in crackers, pressing, cooling, and slicing. The method uses low heat to melt butter, add marshmallows until smooth and glossy, keep heat gentle for a soft, gooey texture, then remove from heat and fold in Goldfish until coated. A home test compared three pans: classic Rice Krispies control, the Goldfish version, and a Cheez-It variant that swaps Goldfish for Cheez-Its. Results were mixed: Goldfish provided salty-sweet crunch, Cheez-Its offered a sharper, saltier bite enjoyed in small squares, and classic retained soft, buttery marshmallow nostalgia. Goldfish fits party trays; classic suits everyday; Cheez-Its appeal to those wanting a cheesier punch.
