Tackle football season with Mary's Gone Crackers

This Sunday (or Monday), treat family and friends to a healthy indulgence from Mary’s Gone Crackers. They’ve paired their crackers and pretzels with signature dips for a combination that’s guaranteed to be a touchdown among guests.

First, whip up Mary’s Gone Crackers Gluten Free Romesco, which is simply made by blending red bell peppers with olives and a variety of spices such as smoked paprika and cayenne pepper. This game winning dip, accompanied by Mary’s Gone Crackers Sea Salt Pretzels, will have guests cheering long after the fourth quarter.

Or kick it up a notch with Mary’s Gone Crackers Green Chutney Dip. Combine chilies with fresh cilantro, mint and garlic and serve with Mary’s Gone Crackers Original Crackers for a field goal in the second half.

The dip and pretzel / cracker pairings above are suggestions, and both could certainly be served alongside any of Mary’s Gone Crackers Pretzels or Crackers. Full recipes are included below for reference. Please let me know if you have any questions, would like more information, hi-res images and/or product samples. Thanks so much in advance for your consideration.
