Graham Cracker House Recipes

Steps:

• Using a serrated knife, cut 10 crackers in half to make 20 squares. Cut four of the squares diagonally in half to make eight triangles., Empty frosting into a large bowl; gradually beat in confectioners' sugar. Cut a small hole in the tip of a pastry bag or in a corner of a food-safe plastic bag; insert #4 round pastry tip. Fill bag two-thirds full with frosting mixture., For each roof (make four), pipe a strip of frosting along three edges of two of the squares. Pipe a strip of frosting along short edges of two of the triangles. Hold triangles upright with unfrosted edges at the bottom. Place squares on top of the triangles, lining up edges to make a sloped roof (unfrosted edges should be at the bottom). Let stand 1 hour to set., For each short house (make two), pipe frosting on two opposite edges of four of the squares. Join frosted edges to form walls. For each tall house (make two), pipe frosting on long edges of four rectangles; join to form walls., Cut remaining cracker to make four doors; attach to houses with frosting. Pipe a thin strip of frosting along bottoms of roofs; place on walls. Decorate as desired. Let stand 2 hours or until set.

Steps:

• Determine how thick your frosting is and thicken it up to a very thick paste with the confectioners sugar.
• Erect your graham cracker house by sealing the corners with your frosting mixture.
• Let harden for a couple of hours.
• Decorate your house by attaching the candies with the frosting mixture.

Steps:

• Arrange the empty cardboard cereal or cracker box upright on a piece of aluminum foil-covered cardboard (you can tape it down to secure it). Tape the top flaps of the box together to form a pitched roof. Frost the whole box with chocolate frosting and then stick on the graham crackers onto the sides and roof of the box. Fill in the cracks by squeezing the frosting through a pastry bag with plain tip (you can also use a plastic bag with a small hole cut from the corner). Draw crooked windows with the frosting and board them up with graham cracker scraps. Shingle the roof with candy corns. To add a porch, glue with the frosting a graham cracker horizontally to the side of the house and support it with licorice or candy sticks. For a backyard graveyard, flatten the marshmallows, snip off the side with scissors and use frosting to stand them up and decorate with "R.I.P.". Add a crooked walkway of Necco wafers and a "Keep Out" sign with a wafer written in frosting. Sprinkle crushed chocolate cookies to fill in the yard and decorate house with candies.

Steps:

• Line a 10x15 pan with foil.

• Pour over the graham crackers, sprinkle with the nuts and then the chocolate chips.
• Bake at 350 degrees farenheit for 5 minutes.
