Gingerbread 'Houses



This is actually a review of the halloween house kit from Target as an option to replace actual gingerbread house kits, or actually making a gingerbread house from scratch:

cons:
1. The "gingerbread" was actually chocolate cookie
2. the "gingerbread was crunchy like a graham cracker instead of soft like gingerbread cookie, and sometimes broke apart like graham crackers as well
3. Necessary to make white frosting and buy Christmas candy to replace the black and orange frosting and candy bats

pros:
1. replacement frosting and candy went fast and most of the candy didn't end up near the houses
2. the kit only cost $2.50 on clearance after halloween and contained five small houses instead of one big one
3. low fear of failure due to low time and/or money investment

results:
see above
