Sometimes you just need snacks. Nothing fancy. Nothing that requires extensive preparation. Just good old cheese-laden, sticky-coated, crunchy-salty, finger-licking snacks that will make all those people crowded around your TV screen this Sunday (or any Sunday) very happy. Here are our top picks. What are you serving? More

There is an unlikely, and some might say highly unorthodox, ingredient in this chef's dish from Saveur Magazine. One clue: it's hidden in plain sight! More

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. More

When we went shopping for gluten-free crackers, we were shocked by how many options there were (granted, we were at Whole Foods, which is likely to carry more brands than the corner store). We picked four that varied in flavor, texture, and price, and nibbled away. Get our thoughts—and let us know your favorite brands. More

These crackers are the thing to have in your pantry in case a gluten-free guest stops by. They tend to show up at even the smallest neighborhood grocery and are easy to pair with dips and cheese alike. More

From first crunchy nut-filled bite, we've been big fans of the rosemary raisin pecan crackers from Raincoast Crisps. Addicts, really. Our habit has been kept in check only by the long trek across town to the one store that carries them and the fact that their cost still makes us think twice. This DIY recipe might just be our salvation. More

These have to be the most unusual cookies we’ve ever made. Improbable, even. Gluten-free, egg-free, and dairy free, they just don’t seem like they should work. And yet, they do. And what’s even more strange, they are some of the most delicious little treats we’ve ever tasted. More

Have you ever noticed that macadamia nuts always seem to be the first to disappear from a bowl of mixed nuts? Maybe it’s the fact that they glimmer like little pearls amidst their earth-toned brethren. We’re betting it also has something to do with their perfectly crunchy texture and sweet flavor - so delicious! More

Although most of us have enough common sense to avoid Black Friday holiday shopping like the plague (or at least do it at home, online in your jammies), that doesn't mean we don't have relatives that will beg, plead and harass you until you go out with them. Forget overpriced lattes and sugar laced snacks found at malls and mega marts, instead, pack one of these more hearty treats instead. More
