Every year in college around the holidays my friends and I would have a night where we made graham cracker houses. Why not gingerbread you ask? Well, graham crackers are cheaper, take less effort and honestly, the fun of the houses is eating all the candy you stack on them anyway!This is a great craft for children and adults. Here is a quick tutorial for the materials you would need to make your very own graham cracker houses.

Materials needed

-Graham crackers (1 box makes about 3 normal houses)
-Lots of frosting (I usually put it in a plastic baggy and cut a hole in one of the corners for easy squeezing)
-Candies! Get creative here but the best kinds are:
- Gum drops
- Mini candy canes
- Licorice ropes (ie twizzlers pull n peel)
- Various hard candies
- Marshmellows
- Apple rings
- Chocolate kisses
- Powered Sugar (to sprinkle like snow on your house!

Directions

1. Construct your house using the frosting as the glue that holds it all together.
2. Decorate your face off!
3. Eat your house before it turns gross. Yay for the holidays!
