Okay be nice now, no hating on our ugly gingerbread house.
This is our 4th year making gingerbread houses and this was the first time it was an easy process and it was ALL edible. Who wouldn’t want to gobble down Chocolate Covered Rice Krispy treats!
Make a pattern from paper to use to cut out the 4 pc gingerbread house (see picture below)and lay over rice krispy treats and cut out. Set on wax paper and add melted chocolate over it. Once that is cool turn it over and add melted chocolate. The melted chocolate makes it more stable when standing it up. Not to mention exceptionally yummy!
I just followed the Rice Krispy Treats Recipe. For the Royal Icing my husband came to the rescue. Recipes with words like sifting, frothy, stiff peaks; usually I hand over to my husband.
Assembly:
1. The two long pc will be in the middle and the 2 half pc are side walls.
2. We had friends over making these so we just put the icing in plastic bags and snip the end. Place icing between the long pc and the 1/2 wall.
3. Hold or secure with a cup or food can.
4. Once all 4 pc are glued you will end up with a roofless house. The roof was Graham crackers.
5. Finally, what my children were dying to do: place the CANDY!
Cool idea! Thanks for sharing at shine on fridays!!
