Notes

Note: For young children you may want to chop the nuts finely (or leave them out) so they are not a choking hazard. 
Storage: This Goldfish snack mix should last 1-2 weeks in an airtight container at room temperature. 
Slow cooker method: Cook on "low" for 3 hours, stirring every 60 minutes to prevent burning.
