A great quick way to avoid crumbling ginger bread walls and still give the kids a chance to decorate little houses.

  • 1 bag smarties (or m & m's)
  • 1 bag jelly babies
  • 1/2 cup icing sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar/hundreds and thousands
  • 1 pack nice biscuits or any other square biccy

Method

  1. Mix up the icing sugar with water to make a paste
  2. Stick the jelly babies to your ground floor biscuit using the icing sugar
  3. Use the paste to stick the biscuits together to make roofs to the little houses
  4. Decorate the roof with smarties, sweets and hundreds and thousands

  • Awesome idea. My kids love making the house, but don’t like gingerbread. They just puck off the decorations and the rest ends in the bin. I’ll try this idea come Christmas.

  • They’re adorable and so much cheaper than getting a store bought kit. The best part is that the kids can personalise them and they will be unique as no two will look exactly alike.

    It a go. EPIC fail. Didn’t stay together, I dropped it still sticky all over the floor.
