Description

Ingredients

• 8 C. Kelloggs Rice Krispies
• 2 12 oz packages of mini marshmallows
• 1/2 C. of butter
• Variety of fun candies to decorate your house (we used chocolate candies, candy canes and mints)
• Small 3-4 Gingerbread cookie cutters
• 4 C. powdered sugar
• 3 egg whites
• large gallon freezer bag
• kitchen scissors

Directions

• Line a large baking sheet with foil and spray with non-stick cooking and set aside.
• Pour both packages of mini marshmallows into a large saucepan.
• Evenly slice the butter into smaller chunks and add to the saucepan.
• Heat the butter and marshmallows on low/medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once the mixture is melted about 3/4 pour in the 8 cups of Rice Krispies cereal and gently fold the marshmallow mixture into the cereal until combined.
• Scoop the Rice Krispie Treats out on the baking sheet and gently flatten with a spoon OR take a small sandwich baggie and spray with non-stick cooking spray, put your hand inside the baggie and gently flatten the treats down evenly.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let set overnight (you want them firm but no rock hard).
• Use a knife to cut out 2 sides and 2 roofs - 4x6
• Use a knife to cute out a front and a back of the house - 3 wide and about 5 tall with a triangle top.
• Set aside.
• To make the icing (glue) combine the 4 cups of powdered sugar and the egg whites. You want it thick so it holds your candies. Start by adding 2 egg whites and go from there.
• Scoop the icing into the large gallon freezer bag. Seal shut and snip one corner with the kitchen scissors.
• Gently squeeze the icing from the bag onto the side and front of the house. Gently stand the side of house up and press onto the front until it stays on its own. Repeat with the other sides. Let set.
• Once the sides are up, place some icing on the roof peaks and place the roof on to of the house. Dont worry if you have some gaps, simply fill in with icing and place some extra candies there. Have fun with it.
• Use the candies to make a door, windows, walk way and more!
• We used our extra icing on the roof for snow and then the girls added mints on top.
• The kids had a blast adding the candies!
