If you’ve always wanted to try your hand at homebuilding, Trader Joe’s Gingerbread House Kit is a great place to start. Each Kit contains the essential materials needed to make a traditional German cookie house: hearty walls and roofing (that is to say, pieces of gingerbread), outdoor décor (fruit gummies and chocolate buttons), and durable cement (a ready-to-make icing mix.) There are also a few winsome woodland creatures made of sugar (an owl, a deer, a squirrel, and a fox, to be exact) that you can place around the property to give your Gingerbread House an even homier feeling. And since every house needs a foundation, you’ll also find a cookie base to make everything sturdy enough to last on your table throughout the season... if you don’t eat it first, that is.
