Graham Cracker Beach Snack Ingredients

Everyone at your summer party will love these adorable beach themed cookies! On top of being simple to decorate, they’re also so fun to eat!

But the best part about this easy recipe is that you don’t have to have any special decorating or baking skills to make them! All you have to do is grab these ingredients and follow the simple instructions below.

• Graham crackers. These cute cookies start out as a plain graham cracker. We used traditional honey graham crackers for our base, but any flavor will work for your own recipe.
• Blue icing. I used Pillsbury Funfetti Aqua Blue Vanilla frosting to decorate the graham crackers. It’s already tinted blue and comes with cute rainbow fish sprinkles! If you can’t find it in your store, you can also use white icing and a little bit of blue food coloring.
• Nerds. Create the ocean floor on your beach snack with some rainbow Nerds candy to add a pop of color to your treats.
• Gummy sharks and Swedish fish. Finish giving your graham crackers and ocean look with the hep of some gummy candy. You can decorate your treats with any type of gummy sea animals, but we used gummy sharks and Swedish fish for our decorations.

How to Make Beach Graham Crackers

You won’t believe how easy it is to make this adorable beach party food! Just follow the simple step by step instructions below for adding fun decorations to your own graham crackers.

Start by laying out your graham crackers on a flat surface. If you’re making your frosting from scratch, prepare it according to the recipe instructions. After that, you can add the blue food coloring to give it the look of ocean water.

Otherwise, simply open the package of blue icing and spread a thin layer over the entire graham cracker. I used a flat spatula to help smooth out the top of the icing.

Next, pour the nerds into a small bowl and dip the end of each graham cracker into the candy. Lightly press the Nerds into place to make sure they stick.

After that, all that’s left to do is add your fish decorations! Arrange some Swedish fish and gummy sharks on top of the icing. Then, sprinkle the fish sprinkles that came in your icing container around the open spaces on top of the cookies.

Who wouldn’t love snacking on these adorable beach graham crackers? Whether you’re hosting a birthday or looking for a fun Bible School snack, these easy treats are perfect! And the best part about this recipe is that they can easily be adjusted. Try recipe ideas to help you create a delicious kid-friendly treat for any celebration:

• Add some sand. If you want to give your graham crackers a more beach look, you can easily replace the Nerds candy with crushed graham crackers. Simply place a couple of graham crackers in a bag and crush them into crumbs, then sprinkle the crumbs along the bottom of each treat to make sand.
• Use other ocean gummies. Add more ocean animals to your treats with the help of gummy candies. In addition to fish, you can also fund gummy starfish and octopi to decorate the top of your treats.
• Try using Goldfish. Want to add a salty element to these sweet snacks? Swap out the Swedish fish for your favorite Goldfish cracker flavor!
