Goldfish Cheddar Crackers
  • 1 cup(s) all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoon(s) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces (I used salted butter, but didn’t add any salt afterward)
  • 8 ounce(s) grated extra-sharp Cheddar cheese (around 2 cups). Note: you can experiment with other cheeses. Some people have tried this and loved the results!
  • 3/4 teaspoon(s) salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon onion powder (note: this is optional since it isn’t part of the original recipe, but I decided to add anyway since I used it)
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) fresh-ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
Directions
  1. Pulse the flour,onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper together using a food processor.
  2. Add the butter and cheese, and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
  3. Pulse in 3 to 4 tablespoons of water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and only enough so that the dough forms a ball and rides the blade. Remove, wrap in plastic, and chill for 20 minutes (I put it in the freezer for 20 minutes and in the fridge for 10) or up to 24 hours.
  4. Bake the crackers: Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking pans with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside. Roll the dough out to 1/8th-inch thickness, using flour if necessary to prevent stickiness. Cut out as many crackers as possible.
  5. To add character to the fish: break off an end from a side of a toothpick so it is blunt. Use that point to make the goldfish eyes. To make the smile, lay the toothpick down on its side, press, and drag. If you try to use the toothpick point, it will ruin the smile.
  6. Optional: Refrigerate for another 15 minutes or so to make sure they won’t spread.
  7. Place them on the prepared baking pans. Bake until golden and crisp (13-18 minutes). Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  8. They are best when completely cooled and the next day in my opinion. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Creepy Disney Park Legends

9 Creepy Disney Park Legends You Should Know Before Planning Your Next Trip.  For many, Disneyland and Walt Disney World are wonderful havens of magic and dreams for the whole family to enjoy. It's the perfect hyper positive environment for vacation. However, it's understandable that some members of your family might not totally be on board for the "ooey-gooey-kissy-huggyness" of Disney. Maybe they prefer something a little a little bleaker? Well, it seems that the brightest light casts the darkest shadow. Both Disney theme parks are riddled with creepy urban legends, ghosts and ghouls that aren't just animatronics in the Haunted House ride. 1. Many cast members claim that after dark the dolls in "It's A Small World" come to life, switching places or disappearing altogether.             2. Ever since a male guest died in the 70s, cast members insist that his ghost happily hitches a ride in any empty rocket ship seats ...
