- Cheez-It is rolling out a gluten-free version of its Original baked snack crackers, and Delish editors were some of the first to try them.<\/li>\n
- We could barely tell a difference between the gluten-free and original crackers, but the biggest change is the texture.<\/li>\n
- The gluten-free crackers have a snappier, crunchier bite with a little less char than the OG.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nCeliacs, rejoice! Cheez-It has finally entered the gluten-free market with its new Cheez-It Original Gluten-Free crackers, and honestly, it’s hard to even tell the difference from the OG. Like the original, the gluten-free version is made with 100% real cheese and still delivers a snappy, crunchy bite, with the differences being minuscule. <\/p>\n
When comparing the two, the first difference you’ll notice is the color. The gluten-free crackers are a more vibrant orange, but otherwise, they’re the same exact shape and size. Taste-wise, it’s tough to find a difference\u2014the original has a slightly charred flavor that the gluten-free version is missing, in my opinion. But the real giveaway is in the texture: While the OG is crunchy with a little softness, the gluten-free version is snappier with a bit more bite. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nMy colleague Gabby Romero agrees: “The results of my blind taste test had me doing a double take!” she shared. “The flavor is identical. The gluten-free version has a different texture\u2014but not in a bad way. It’s comparatively lighter and crisper than the OG. I could easily see myself clearing a whole box.”<\/p>\n
