    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 itโ€™s so easy to make and everyone enjoys it at a party.

    Itโ€™s easy to eat on the go while youโ€™re visiting too which is nice. The best part is that it takes under five ingredients to make.ย 

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

    I was so excited to make this gluten-free Christmas crack recipe because Iโ€™ve always wanted to be a candy maker during Christmas time.
    However, the thought of using a thermometer and being so precise just doesnโ€™t appeal to me. So this candy recipe is easy and definitely doesnโ€™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.ย And our crockpot candy, gluten free peanut brittleย and divinity candy are allย 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!

        I make something very similar but I use rice Chex cereal instead! WW love it! It makes spreading the chocolate a little challenging sometimes, but the cereal is much easier to find since I live in the middle of nowhere.

        No, you can store it in the freezer if you like it cold or in a tupperware or plastic bag at room temperature. Enjoy!

      I am interested in the chocolate Christmas crack recipe. I can’t find it. As I scroll down, it runs right into a cranberry crack recipe with white chocolate. Is there a link I am supposed to click on?
      I would love to make this, but I’m so curious what the ingredients are!

          Thanks for the correction! ๐Ÿ™‚ I made this a couple days ago and it’s amazing!! Will be taking it over to our gluten-free family members tomorrow, but we keep snacking on it! Makes a generous amount! I used an 18×13 rimmed cookie tray and it fit the entire Glutino box minus just one cracker. Perfect! (I wasn’t sure what type of baking pan you were suggesting) Thank you for sharing a great recipe!
