    This recipe sounds delish! But do you know a way to make them gluten-free?
    I have an allergic reaction when I eat certain things with wheat in them. Graham crackers is one of those. I love them but they don’t love me.

    I haven't found chocolate gluten free graham crackers yet. They have oat ones on amazon but not chocolate. You could buy any chocolate gluten free cookie that you like and crush them. Not ones with fillings though.
