Easter Peeps Graham Cracker Houses

Make your icing glue

• In a glass bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Add egg whites and mix, adding water a little at a time until you reach a very thick consistency. Put icing in a zippered plastic bag and cut off the corner. This will allow you to squeeze out a line of icing for assembly and decorating.

Assembling the Houses

• To build a graham cracker house, start with 3 graham crackers. Cut each one in half with a sharp knife to make six squares.
• Cut one graham cracker square in half. Discard one half and cut the remaining piece into a triangle.
• Using the icing glue (or a hot glue gun), assemble the three walls of the house using three of the squares of graham crackers.
• Add the triangle piece to the top of the back wall of the house to create the roof.
• Use the two remaining cracker squares to form the roof.
• Allow graham cracker houses to dry and completely set up for 2-3 hours before decorating.

Decorating your houses

• Try using frosted mini-wheat cereal to give that snow-kissed glow to your roof.
• Use other cereals and candies to brighten up the houses.
• Want to make a faux log cabin? Use pretzel rods to give that rustic charm.
