Dylan Lauren of New York's Dylan's Candy Bar created this fun, kid-friendly Halloween project. She starts with an undecorated gingerbread house, then covers it with a variety of popular Halloween treats, including candy corn, marshmallows, and licorice. To watch Lauren create a Haunted Gingerbread House and to take a tour of Dylan's Candy Bar, check out our videos.
The instructions below are just for inspiration—feel free to experiment with different kinds of candy and decorating supplies. Most of the candy can be found in the candy aisle of supermarkets or at Dylan's Candy Bar.
To tint royal icing or purchased frosting, add a few drops of food coloring and stir thoroughly. Add and stir in more food coloring, one drop at a time, until desired color is achieved. To create purple, use drops of red and blue food coloring. To create orange, use drops of red and yellow.
