Christmas is not complete without a Gingerbread House Recipe. Christmas time brings out visions of Christmas trees, Santa Claus and the traditional Gingerbread House. With the right amount of imagination and this recipe, you will be well on your way to creating a tasty Gingerbread House!

Gingerbread House Ingredients:

1/2 pint milk carton(s) (empty & rinsed)
small plastic knives
small paper plate(s)
graham crackers
canned vanilla frosting
candy for decorating: M&M’s, peppermints, licorice, gumdrops, etc.
cereal for decorating: Chex, Cheerios, Trix, etc.

How to Prepare the Ingredients:

  • Take the frosting and use it as “glue”.
  • Use the glue frosting to attach the carton to the plate. Make sure you use enough frosting or it will fall apart.
  • Now take your graham crackers and break them in half or into two pieces.
  • Once again use your frosting to glue crackers to each side and roof of the carton. Make sure the crackers are the right size for each part of the house. This will make the house look more realistic. For example, the crackers for the roof should be two graham cracker pieces of the exact same sizes.
  • Finally, fill in any places where carton is showing, using frosting to attach candies and cereals as windows, doors, roof tiles and decorations. You can use any kind of decoration that you feel would add an element of Christmas spirit!

That should do it. Now you can proudly display your Gingerbread House. It will take a little practice to get it just right. Just like Hansel and Gretel, it is going to be almost impossible for someone to not come along and eat a piece of your masterpiece.
