    JUMP TO RECIPE
    This gluten-free Christmas crack is an addicting holiday candy that is SO easy to make! Like, just a few ingredients and a few minutes easy. Everyone will be coming back for more with this Christmas treat.

    Gluten-free Christmas crack is my new go-to holiday treat because everyone adores it and it takes me minimal amount of time to make.This gluten-free Christmas crack is so easy to make and is a delicious holiday treat that everyone will love.

    I love this gluten-free Christmas crack because it’s so easy to make and everyone enjoys it at a party.

    It’s easy to eat on the go while you’re visiting too which is nice. The best part is that it takes under five ingredients to make. 

    If you are looking for a fun twist on this classic recipe, I also love to make our cranberry Christmas crack often!

    I was so excited to make this gluten-free Christmas crack recipe because I’ve always wanted to be a candy maker during Christmas time.
    However, the thought of using a thermometer and being so precise just doesn’t appeal to me. So this candy recipe is easy and definitely doesn’t require you get anything to a certain temperature.
    The freezer does all the work while you leave it in for at least 30 minutes or overnight. You just have to break and place it in a cute dish for the perfect Christmas candy!
    Feel free to get creative and add little Christmas candies to it before freezing for a little extra holiday pizzazz.
    I also like to add allspice or a little peppermint extract to the chocolate for a burst of flavor. My friend Cindy also has a dairy-free old fashioned Christmas bark if you need that.
    Glutino gluten-free table crackers give this recipe all it’s glorious crunch. They are great on their own or with soup but they really come to life in this gluten-free Christmas crack recipe!

      I haven’t tried making these yet but I’m very excited! Do they need to be stored in the refrigerator or freezer until eaten? Thank you!

        No but if it is too warm, the chocolate can melt.

      What if I use unsalted butter? How much salt should I add to compensate?

      Hi! I can’t find Glutino Table crackers in my area. Are any gluten free crackers good to use or is there another kind I could try?

      I was just wondering if you have tried to make this with molasses and honey instead of brown sugar? If it would work the same way?

      Every year I try to make Christmas treats for my friends and neighbors, but it can be exhausting. Making candy takes forever and I get overwhelmed (think Monica from Friends when her neighbors are knocking her door down for candy haha). I tried this recipe and it was a breath of fresh air. This recipe is so easy and so delicious. I make it year round because it is so good.

      Can you make this with regular crackers? What kind, if so. I don’t have to be gluten free.

        Absolutely! Saltines or graham crackers work great.

      This is brilliant! I love Christmas crack, but I don’t tolerate gluten well, so I don’t often make it. But this recipe has been perfect for the holidays this year!! Thank you for this delicious recipe!

      I made this with Earth Balance soy free butter substitute and it turned out amazing! I wasn’t sure what would happen but had friends coming that are dairy free and it was a hit. I used Nestle allergen free chocolate chips on top.
