This year, I decided to gift a few of our friends with their own little Gingerbread House Party in a Box! I thought it would be fun to give them a little something to do on one of our cold, snowy midwest winter afternoons…that get dark a whole lot earlier than any of us mommas would like.
These kits are so easy to make! Just grab a few basic house constructing supplies, graham crackers and a can of white frosting, and then add in your choice of fun and festive candies for decorations. I even added in a few packets of hot cocoa mix and stripey straws to keep the little architects bellies warm while creating 🙂
I included starlight mints, gumballs, red hots, holiday sprees, holiday tic tacs, and holiday gumdrops along with a bunch of miniature candy canes which would also go great with the hot cocoa mix!
