When I first decided to go gluten-free, one of the things I missed the most was having a good, crunchy cracker for dips, soups, and cheese boards. Unfortunately, not all gluten-free crackers are created equal, and I tried quite a few brands before finding one that I genuinely enjoyed.
Since then, I've purchased Milton's Gluten-Free Crackers several times, and they've become one of my regular pantry staples. In this review, we'll go over everything you need to know, including their taste, texture, ingredients, nutrition, price, and whether I think they're worth buying.

Each bag contains 4.5 ounces (128 g) of crackers. One thing I have consistently noticed is that the bag is only about half full, which can be a little disappointing when you first open it.
At my local Walmart, a bag currently costs $3.48, although prices will vary depending on where you shop.
Nutrition & Ingredients:
Milton's Gluten-Free Crackers are made primarily with:
- Brown rice flour
- Corn flour
- Gluten-free oats
They are:
- Certified Gluten-Free
- Non-GMO
- Vegetarian
They do contain milk, so they are not dairy-free or vegan.
A serving size is 14 crackers (30 g) and contains 130 calories.
Taste Test:
My first impression was just how light and crispy these crackers are. They're fairly thin and about the size of a small palm, making them perfect for snacking or pairing with toppings.
The texture is probably my favorite part. They're light, airy, delicate, and have a really nice crunch. There is a very slight graininess from the gluten-free flours, but it's subtle enough that I don't find it distracting.
Flavor-wise, the Sea Salt variety starts with a nice salty flavor followed by subtle earthy notes from the brown rice flour. They're definitely on the saltier side compared to many other gluten-free crackers I've tried, but not overwhelmingly so.
They are fairly delicate. If you're scooping a particularly thick dip, expect a few casualties along the way. For lighter dips, spreads, or charcuterie boards, though, they work wonderfully.
Pros & Cons:
Pros:
- Wonderfully light and crispy texture
- Great salty flavor
- Certified gluten-free
- Easy to find at most grocery stores
- Great for snacking, soups, and charcuterie boards
Cons:
- Expensive for the amount you receive
- The bag feels only about half full

- Break easily with thicker dips
FAQs:
- Are Milton's Gluten-Free Crackers actually gluten-free? Yes! Milton's Crackers are certified gluten-free, making them a great option for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
- Are Milton's Crackers good for charcuterie boards? Absolutely. Their thin, crispy texture pairs really well with meats, cheeses, jams, and lighter spreads.
- What do Milton's Gluten-Free Crackers taste like? Each variety has its own unique flavor, but in general I find Milton's crackers to be among the saltier and more boldly seasoned gluten-free crackers available. If you're looking for something with a lighter, more neutral flavor, keep that in mind when choosing a variety.
- Where can you buy Milton's Gluten-Free Crackers? They're available at many major grocery stores, including Walmart, Target, Publix, Kroger, Albertsons, Costco, and Sprouts.
Final Thoughts:
I've tried quite a few gluten-free cracker brands over the years, and Milton's continues to be one of the ones I buy most often. They have one of the crispiest textures I've found and a really satisfying crunch that holds up well for everyday snacking.
While they are a little pricey for the amount you get, that's unfortunately pretty common with gluten-free products. The only real downside is that they can be a bit fragile, especially when paired with thicker dips.
I think these crackers are best enjoyed on a cheese board, alongside a bowl of soup, with lighter dips, or simply on their own. I've even used them with chicken salad, and while they were delicious, they did crumble a bit-so you may want to keep a fork nearby!
Overall, I highly recommend Milton's Gluten-Free Crackers if you're looking for a light, crispy, salty cracker that works well for just about any occasion. They've earned a permanent spot in my gluten-free pantry.
