A box of crackers and a few types of cheese may be one of the easiest party snacks ever, but what do you do if some of your guests can't eat the crackers? When making gluten-free nibbles for a party, we gravitate toward foods that are inherently gluten-free, like popcorn, nuts, vegetables and cheese. Crisped, toasted, spiced and stuffed, these snacks are so good, no one will miss the crackers.

I'm not gluten-intolerant, but these snacks look divine!! Thank you for sharing, as I know many of my gluten-free friends will appreciate this post.
Another tasty treat is to make ribbons from parsnips, drizzle some olive oil on them and bake around 375 until light brown and dust with your favorite smoked salt.. I think this came from F&W..
What an awesome list of gf treats!! Thank you for compiling this. I think if i walked into a party to find even half of these on a spread I would cry with joy!
Also, those amazing Pao de Queijo (http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-po-de-queijo-brazilian-cheese-bread-cooking-lessons-from-the-kitchn-176118). I've done it making them a bit smaller and finger-food sized. Everyone loved them.
