The crackers feature the signature goldfish format of the original, but have been covered in a flavoring with notes of sweet mustard, smoky BBQ sauce and a touch of spicy pickle that combine for a complex taste experience. The snack crackers thus have a [sweet, spicy and smoky flavor profile](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheezit-hot-honey) that puts them in the running with some of the most on-trend taste experiences within the consumer packaged goods (CPG) category. Goldfish Awesome Sauce Flavored Crackers are headed to retailers alongside the returning fan-favorite [Spicy Dill Pickle flavor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheezit-spicy-buffalo) for shoppers to pick up for summertime entertaining, road trip snacking and more.
