INGREDIENTS:
INSTRUCTIONS; Royal Frosting (NOT recommended for eating) 1-Place 3 large egg whites into a mixing bowl. 2-Use a mixer to beat whites into peaks which keep their form when cut with a knife. 3- Add pwdered sugar and beat in. MAKING HOUSES (This is a mom job in our house) 1-Break 1 cracker in half so that there are two equal size squares. 2- Stack them on top of each other and turn the top cracker a quarter turn to create a triangular peak. 3-Use the royal icing to "glue" the two pieces together. 4-Repeat steps 1-3 to make the other side wall of the house. 5-Use two whole crackers for the front and back walls. "Glue" all four sides together. 6-Allow to dry a few hours. 7-Use two whole crackers to lay across for the roof. "Glue" in place. 8-Fill in cracks with icing and allow to dry overnight. DECORATING (This is the fun part) 1-Use muffin tins to unwrap and separate leftover Halloween candy. 2-Starting with the roof, ice one section at a time and decorate. If candies appear to be too heavy for house, let icing dry for a few minutes first. OTHER HINTS; - We like to make a house for each member of the family. Kids as young as 3 can do their own. - Create a village by covering a piece of cardboard with foil. "Glue" houses down. Make pathways with M&M and tart "stones". Make paper cones, color some of the icing and create pine trees to decorate. Add gingerbread men. - If you would prefer to eat finished houses, substitute egg whites with powdered merengue found in candy making supplies.
