Just create a widget that doesn’t filter your input. This is probably the most simple widget with user input you can build.
Here is the widget I use in my plugin Magic Widgets.

You register the widget with:
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'register_unfiltered_text_widget', 20 );
function register_unfiltered_text_widget()
{
register_widget( 'Unfiltered_Text_Widget' );
}
Now you get a new widget in wp-admin/widgets.php:
I put just two cool Youtube videos as iframes and a <hr> into the widget.
Output:
