OCEAN GRAHAM CRACKER SNACKS INGREDIENTS

The ingredient list to make these is super short and simple. The best part is that you can easily swap out many of them to create your own ocean vibe.

Here is what we used:

• Graham crackers: We love honey graham crackers for this recipe, but you can use your favorite brand.
• Aqua blue frosting: We used a tub of store-bought aqua blue frosting. You can find blue frosting at Walmart or your favorite supermarket.
• Goldfish crackers: Goldfish add a fun texture and give the treat saltiness. Yum!  
• White sugar pearls: Sugar pearls are the perfect bubble for this super-fun treat. 
• Cinnamon imperials: You can use Brach’s imperials or Red Hots for this treat! 
• Red and green jimmies: We used rainbow jimmies and sorted out a few red and green ones.

Putting together these ocean graham crackers is quite simple and the kids will love to help with their own creativity. You can save and print the instructions in the recipe card below.

Using a rolling pin, begin by crushing 1 sheet of graham crackers in a resealable sandwich bag. Set the baggy aside for now.

Next, spread the blue frosting on a graham cracker sheet, be sure to leave about an inch at the top without icing.

Stagger 3 goldfish in the blue icing area. To make the appearance o bubbles, place a white pearl above each goldfish. 

Sprinkle some crushed graham crackers at the bottom to represent a beach scene.

To make the cute little crab, use a cinnamon imperial or other small red candy and surround it with red jimmies.

Lastly, arrange green jimmies to make the seaweed in the sand.
