    • Simple mills crackers-I am obsessed with their grain free crackers! They are delicious and naturally gluten free. I like to get them at Costco. If you are doing the autoimmune protocol (AIP) you can make your own grain free and nut free crackers with this recipe HERE.

    Expert Tips

    • Tip # 1: Depending on the size of chocolate chips vs. chocolate chunks you use, the additional time in the oven to melt the chocolate may vary.
    • Tip # 2: When pouring the coconut oil and sugar mixture over the crackers make sure to pour the mixture evenly over the crackers.
    • Tip # 3: For easy clean up you can place parchment or wax paper on the bottom of the casserole dish so that it lifts out with no mess left behind.
