These are adorable!!!

•Assorted large crackers and cookies (such as Wasa Crisps and Social Teas) for building, plus sugar wafers and round, scalloped butter cookies for decorating

•1 batch ready-to-use decorator icing-1 tub (16 ounces)

•Assorted decorations and colorful candies, including pretzel sticks, ice cream cones, Necco wafers, Starlight mints, M & M's, gumdrops, Mike & Ike candy, mini Chicklets, and cinnamon red candies

1. Assemble houses or other structures from large crackers or cookies, attaching pieces with frosting. Spread frosting on cookie edges; hold edges together for a few minutes until set. (If small children are present, you may want to assemble some houses before they arrive.)

2. Decorate as desired. For log cabin, ice outer walls and attach pretzel sticks. For church, make steeple from iced sugar wafer, with pretzel cross at top; make doors from sugar wafers trimmed at top with knife. Decorate roofs with assorted candies. For Necco-wafer shingles, spread roof generously with frosting. Starting at bottom of roof, arrange wafers so they overlap slightly. Use upside-down ice cream cones for castle turrets: Spread with frosting and multicolored nonpareils. Attach decorations with frosting.
