Equipment
- 1 gallon ziplock bag
- 1 tray
Ingredients
- 1 box graham crackers
- 1 tub white icing
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- various candies for decorating
Instructions
- Grab a cookie sheet and have it ready to build your gingerbread houses on.
- Get your graham crackers ready. You will want to trim down the front and back into peaks for the roof to go on. Each house needs 4 graham crackers. You will break two of them crackers in half to form the sides and roof.
- Put some icing in an icing bag or a ziplock bag. Clip a corner so that you have a nice icing pipe.
- Use the icing as the glue. Put icing on each edge as you put the house together. I start with the front and back pieces, add the side and then add the roof. Make sure the roof has lots of icing to hold it toegther.
- Now you can pipe on windows, doors, shingles.. whatever you want with the white icing.
- Now you can add your candy to create a fun & festive look. I used red and white peppermint candies to create simple, Christmas-inspired gingerbread houses.
- Then I crushed up the leftover graham crackers and some of the peppermint candies and sprinkled it all over the top.
- Now you can dust with powdered sugar to make your house look like it is covered in snow!
- There ya go! Simple gingerbread houses using graham crackers!
