Gingerbread Houses

Here's a little leftover holiday magic as you get ready for the new year! (Who doesn't love an artfully arranged candy buffet?)



         

Gingerbread houses make a great party activity (for adults too)! It gives everyone a change to get creative in a very forgiving medium. If working with a younger crowd, you may want to build the houses ahead of time. When the frosting has had plenty of time to dry, you don't have to worry about not-so-gentle-fingers knocking down the house. You won't believe the creativity that these little structures unleash or the stories that get told while hands are busy. (Make sure you buy twice as much candy as you think you'll need. Eating it is half the fun!)
