hey everyone it's James from fun foods and today I'm going to show you how to make this gingerbread
house using Kit Kats this was a lot of fun and it's delicious so keep watching
and I'll show you step by step how to make this now the first thing you want
to do to make this is start out with some large packs of Kit Kats now these
are the extra large packs you can buy a whole bunch of the individual ones if
you'd like and just join them together but what we're gonna do is we're gonna
make a rather small gingerbread house here and four of these is one little
panel I would call it I'm gonna join two of them together like this and then join
more of them together to each two will be a side like that to join them
together I just have some melted chocolate that I put in a piping bag and
I'm gonna just put some along the side here and press it together
and you don't want to touch the KitKat's too long with your fingers because it's
chocolate it will melt make sure the melted chocolate used is either candy
melts or tempered chocolate then for the front and back of the house because
these are going to be side panels these are going to be the roof panels for the
front and the back it's going to be very narrow but we're going to join on top of
each other this way
now just let these harden up and when they're hardened up we'll move on to the
next step now that these are firmed up what I'm going to do is our front and
back panels I'm going to cut these at a very steep angle this is so that we can
put the roof on top of it and we're going to go from the end here all the
way up very steep angle to about here and I'm just gonna use a sawing motion
it's alright if it comes off we can always put more chocolate on there to
put it back in place and then we're going to come on this side and do the
same thing and you see they came off but that's okay we'll glue that back along
just like so and these you can save or eat and you want to make sure the back
part is the same as the front part as far as angle wise so it's a good idea to
take this and just put this on top to measure it up
now we can start to assemble the house and what I'm going to do is just put a
good amount of chocolate on the bottom of one of these real good amount and I'm
gonna just push it down right here and I'm gonna hold it gently because of
course I don't my fingers to melt the chocolate it might be a good idea to
have something else and place hold that
and this is the base of our house we still have to put our roof on but I want
to do that after this is firmed up nicely now to put the roof on I'm gonna
put a bunch of chocolate on here you're gonna need a lot and we're gonna take
our roof panel and put it in place now we have to hold it but we're trying not
to hold it with our fingers much so I'm just gonna use a box to kind of keep it
from sliding down
now just let this harden up and then we can decorate it some more now that the
main part of our construction is done I still want to put a chimney on this and
to do that the side pieces I cut for that angle I just join them together and
I'm going to put some chocolate on there just like this because it already has
the right angle hold it in place this is gonna be the back of my house so we're
just gonna hold that in place right about there and also just thought it'd
be cool to have some white Kit Kat's on here so I'm gonna put those across the
top so I'm gonna have one right here and one right there now let's get into
decorating this a bit and I'm also gonna put some white KitKat's right in the
front as the front door so it'll stand out so I'm gonna put some chocolate on
the back of this
there we go now I have all kinds of candy and edible
treats I'm gonna use to decorate this house you can do this any way you'd like
I do want to use some white chocolate that I've melted and I'm gonna use this
like it's snow falling on my little house here I'm gonna put it on the
chimney first here I'm gonna cover the top of this chimney with the white so
much that I wanted to drip down a little bit and you know just to give that
illusion like snow running down
maybe put a Hershey kiss right in the middle the almost to simulate smoke coming
out of the chimney
some white chocolate on this candy cane on one side of it
and put this one say right here
and when you're all done decorating you think you have it looking really good
what you can do is just take some of these coconut flakes these are edible
and use that as snow it'll also cover up the mess we made
while we're gluing everything together with the chocolate well thanks everyone
