A snack board is an easy way to bring several party foods together. Start with Absolutely Gluten Free Crackers and Flatbreads, then add cheeses, meats, fruit, vegetables, olives, nuts, dips, and spreads.
Guests can choose whatever catches their eye. If you’re looking for gluten free crackers for charcuterie, crisp crackers pair well with cheeses, meats, fruit, and spreads, while Flatbreads give you another option for dipping or topping.
A bowl of dip with plenty of crackers makes an easy party appetizer. Our BLT Dip combines cream cheese and sour cream with lettuce, tomatoes, and crispy pancetta or bacon and is served with Absolutely Gluten Free Crackers.
It’s a simple choice when you want gluten free appetizers that guests can share. Put everything in the middle of the table and let everyone help themselves.
Absolutely Gluten Free Flatbreads are another easy addition to the appetizer table. Serve them with hummus, salsa, guacamole, creamy dips, cheeses, or your favorite spreads.
A couple of dips can give guests more choice without creating much extra prep. Set the Flatbreads nearby and refill the platter as needed.
Crackers and Flatbreads also make a simple base for bite-size party snacks. Add cheese, spreads, vegetables, or other favorite toppings, then arrange them on a platter.
A couple of topping combinations are enough to add variety. You can also leave some Crackers or Flatbreads plain for guests who prefer dips and spreads.
Not every party snack needs a recipe. Fresh fruit, cut vegetables, olives, nuts, and other easy-to-serve foods can add color and variety alongside crackers, dips, and richer appetizers.
A few well-chosen options can round out the spread without making the table feel overcrowded.
If you want something a little more substantial, add one warm or prepared appetizer alongside the ready-to-serve snacks.

A party spread doesn’t have to end with savory snacks. Add an easy sweet option for guests who want a little something at the end.
Absolutely Gluten Free Coconut Macaroons, Chocolate Macaroons, or Coconut Chews can go straight from the package to a dessert plate or snack table.
When you’re choosing gluten free snacks for parties, look at the table as a whole instead of serving several versions of the same thing.
A simple mix works well: something crisp, something creamy, something fresh, something savory, and something sweet. Crackers or Flatbreads bring the crunch, a dip adds something creamy, fruit or vegetables bring freshness, and a prepared appetizer rounds out the savory side.
Finish with an easy sweet bite, and you’ve got plenty of variety without a long list of complicated recipes.
A little planning can make gluten free entertaining much easier. Check labels on packaged foods, sauces, seasonings, and other ingredients instead of assuming they’re gluten-free.
If foods containing gluten are also being served, keep a separate serving utensil with each dish and make the gluten-free choices easy for guests to spot. The Celiac Disease Foundation’s guidance on dining and social eating has more tips on avoiding cross-contact when gluten-free food is being served alongside other foods.
To keep things manageable, combine ready-to-serve snacks with just a few simple recipes. That way, guests still have plenty of choices without keeping you in the kitchen for the whole gathering.
Absolutely Gluten Free products can fit easily into a party spread, from snack boards and dips to sweet bites. Crackers and Flatbreads are easy to dip, top, and share, while Macaroons and Coconut Chews offer simple sweet options.
