Gluten-free Christmas crack is my new go-to holiday treat because everyone adores it and it takes minimal amount of time to make. Yeah, just 15 minutes. Plus, it only requires a 4 ingredients. You can't beat that...
If you are looking for a fun twist on this classic recipe, I also love to make our white chocolate Christmas crack often! Our gluten free sugar cookies are another winner that even my non gluten free friends love
Why you are going to love it
- Only 4 ingredients- I love this gluten-free sweet treat because it’s so easy to make and everyone enjoys it at a party. Plus with only four ingredients, you almost always have the ingredients on hand.
- Great on-the-go treat- It’s easy to eat on the go while you’re visiting at holiday parties too which is nice. Unlike most desserts that require a fork and knife.
- Can be made ahead of time- I make this early all the time then just freeze it and bring it back out for events or gatherings.
- Perfect addition to cookies- I LOVE to break up this even more into small chunks and add it to our gluten free chocolate chip cookies. My brother in law (who doesn't eat gluten free) said they are the best cookies he has ever had!
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.
Let's make some candy
Ok it is actually so simple to make this tasty treat...
I also like to add allspice or a little peppermint extract to the chocolate for a burst of flavor. And our crockpot candy, gluten free peanut brittle and divinity candy are all amazing! This elf pancake spaghetti is another fun recipe perfect for a movie watching night in.
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! However, you can use any variety you like.

Notes
Feel free to use any gluten free table cracker that you can find. Glutino gluten-free table crackers are my favorite for this recipe.
Pro tip: Feel free to get creative and add little sprinkles like we did to it before freezing for a little extra holiday pizzazz.
Leftovers: Place the candy in an airtight container in a single layer and place parchment paper between each layer so they do not stick together. The candy will stay fresh for 1 to 2 weeks.
You can also freeze leftover candy to enjoy later. We do this all the time! It will stay good for about 3 months in the freezer.

Had anyone tried making this dairy free somehow?
Chandice says
We make it dairy free all the time with dairy free butter and chocolate and it works great!
Lisa J Bach says
Is there a certain dairy-free butter you use? Ive tried with 2 diff kinds ans it tastes like toasted marshmallows
Chandice Probst says
I like Country Crock plant based sticks and Miyokos.
Gina says
Have you made this and added chopped pecans on top?
Chandice says
No but it sounds great!
Linda Berwanger says
made this and came out real sticky what happened?
Chandice says
I am so sorry, I haven't heard that before. What part? The filling is caramel so sticky and needs to be spread quickly onto the crackers.
