Gingerbread House

Foundation: Create a foundation for the house using either KIT KAT^® Milk Chocolate Candy Bars or TWIZZLERS Twists Strawberry Flavored Candy layered horizontally and cut to size. Carefully place your gingerbread house on the foundation. You can even extend the candy foundation to create a little front porch as pictured.

Roof Decor: Spread or pipe white icing on the roof. Decorate your roof with HERSHEY’S Premier White Creme Chips and add a chimney using a diagonally cut PAYDAY Peanut and Caramel Candy Bar.

Go bold and festive with a holiday striped roof using TWIZZLERS PULL ‘N’ PEEL Red, Green and White King Size Candy. Starting just below the roof ridge, lay the peeled TWIZZLERS Candy diagonally across both sides of the roof, alternating the colors. Trim any extra along the front, back and edge with scissors. Line your roof ridge with red and green HERSHEY’S HERSHEY-ETS Candies or unwrapped JOLLY RANCHER Candies for an even more spectacular finish!

To make icicles, use a small round tip with the tip pointing up. Slowly squeeze the icing, letting it build up into a small ball, and then pull the tip down slowly, releasing the pressure as you reach the desired length of the icicle. It should look like an upside-down teardrop when finished.

Side Porch (optional): Make an adorable side porch out of a HERSHEY’S Milk Chocolate Bar and HERSHEY’S Chocolate Mint Flavor Candy Canes. Break candy canes into four equal pillars as tall as your roof edge. Using icing or edible glue, line up candy canes in a formation to support the corners of the chocolate bar. Level your candy bar on top of the candy canes, and then use icing or edible glue to adhere the top of the canes to the chocolate bar.

Once the porch is in place, add additional icing to connect the chocolate bar to the roof edge for extra stability.

Sidewalk: For a colorful, fun sidewalk, line your path with HERSHEY’S HERSHEY-ETS Candies and pave your sidewalk with shaved HERSHEY’S Chocolate Bars. Or if you want a more subtle rock pathway look, use HERSHEY’S MINI KISSES Milk Chocolate Chips.

Trees: For the peanut butter and chocolate trees, stack the following in this order: REESE’S Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Miniature, REESE’S Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Snack Size Cup, another Miniature and top with one HERSHEY’S KISSES Candy. Decorate the trees with green icing using a petal or leaf icing tip, small red decorator candies, and a decorative candy star at the top. For the chocolate peppermint trees, top HERSHEY’S Peppermint Bark Bells with HERSHEY’S KISSES SPECIAL DARK Mildly Sweet Chocolate Candy using icing.
