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.
