Graham Cracker Gingerbread Houses -11

Our family Thanksgiving tradition is making Gingerbread Houses. This year we used graham crackers, we also tried chocolate graham crackers. I made buttercream icing to add the candies.

Buttercream Icing

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup Crisco
• 4 cups powdered sugar (2 lbs)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 tablespoon milk (if thick)

Directions:

1. Cream together the butter and Crisco with a mixer.
2. Slowly add in 1 cup of powdered sugar at a time.
3. Add the vanilla, if it seems too thick you can add a bit of milk.

Here are some of our past Gingerbread Houses.
