Grandma was in town and we had so much fun keeping our tradition of making Holiday Gingerbread Houses (no bake!).  We make them every year with my 6 and 9 year old boys. Remember this and this

I love to share family holiday ideas, easy baking ideas and so this holiday baking idea is perfect for you and your little ones!  Today I will show you how to make the Graham Cracker Holiday Houses as well as how to make the Peanut Butter Ball Snowmen!   We are obsessed with chocolate and peanut butter, so I created yummy Peanut Butter Ball Snowmen to go on our holiday houses!

As we were shopping at Walmart, I picked up Honey Maid Graham Crackers (For the Holiday Houses AND Peanut Butter Snowmen), Skippy Peanut Butter (for the snowmen) and candy for decorating the houses.  These are SO simple and fun. .

 Then, it was time to make the Holiday Houses!

These are simple!  Use Honey Maid Graham Crackers, Royal Icing and/or Skippy Peanut Butter as your “glue”, and candies!

We LOVE these easy to use icing bottles from Kuhn Rikon.  No mess and easy to use and clean up!

We used the Honey Maid Graham Crackers as well as Skippy Peanut Butter (to stick on the roof tiles, etc) as well as royal icing. My boys loved using the Skippy peanut butter so that it blended in with the graham crackers!
