Graham Cracker Gingerbread House

The elf built a little gingerbread house from graham crackers and frosting, then ran out of time. He left the candy in bowls so the kids can finish decorating.

Instructions

Spread a thick line of frosting on a paper plate in a square.
Stand four graham cracker squares in the frosting in a box shape, frosting each corner seam. Hold them for 30 seconds.
Lean two crackers together on top as the roof, frosted along every edge.
Let it set for an hour.
Decorate one side only: a frosting door, a few gumdrops, frosting icicles along the roof.
Put the rest of the candy in small bowls around it, with the elf sitting beside it holding a gumdrop.

Tip: Thick frosting from a tub works as glue. Thin frosting slides.
