A gingerbread house is a fun and tasty way to decorate for the holidays. Not only will you have fun making and eating it, but it makes a great centerpiece too. Follow our directions for a quick, no-bake, miniature gingerbread house.
What you will need:
- Empty milk carton (the small kind you get at school)
- Graham crackers (5 for each house)
- Marshmallow fluff or icing
- Different kinds of candy (let your imagination run!)
- Toothpicks
The empty milk carton will be the base of your house. You'll use the marshmallow fluff or icing as a glue to stick everything together.
Directions:
- Use a spoon to smooth the "glue" on a graham cracker.
- Next, place the graham cracker, sticky-side down on to one side of the milk carton.
- Repeat this for the other three sides.
- For the roof of your house you will do the same thing, but you will need to break a graham cracker in half and just use the halves for the diagonal sides of the roof.
- Now comes the fun part-decorating your house. Use a toothpick to put icing or fluff on the candy pieces. Just do this one at a time so they don't dry before you stick them to the graham crackers. Use your imagination decorating the roof and walls of your house. Don't forget about a door and some windows. Experiment with different candy pieces to see what works best. Have fun!
