How to Make a "Homemade" Gingerbread House

Make a tasty shanty town full of these

​For many the thought of making a gingerbread house is daunting. You gotta bake and make 10 things before you can even get close to the fun assembly (i.e. finger lickin' icing and eating gum drops) part.

Forget that. All you really need are a few ingredients, which will run you about $10 and include: marshmallows, graham crackers, gummy decorations (I used worms and bears) and cake icing. Follow these five easy steps and you'll have a Ginger-Hooverville in ten minutes.

Stick two (un-divided) graham crackers to a plate with some icing. Icing will act as the glue for this creation. Make sure to add icing where the crackers separate to form a solid base. This will make it easier to add the walls.
