Everything is edible on this fireplace!
Every year we go to my mom’s house and enjoy the family tradition of
making gingerbread houses. This year my husband was able to join us
(yeah!) so we wanted to make something fun and unique. Looking for some
inspiration, we decided to go to our Christmas tree filled with
ornaments. We were looking for something that wouldn’t be too
complicated to make out of gingerbread, but still be fun and relevant to
our lives at this time.
My husband spotted a fireplace with a snoopy hanging in the stalking…. and since we have a fireplace website (TheMasterFirePlace.com),
that became our inspiration. Next, we had to figure out what kind of
candy to bring to mom’s to make our fireplace come to life. Hershey’s
Milk Chocolate Bars and Hershey’s Cookies n’ Creme Bars seemed the
logical place to go for the brick on the front. The cookies for Santa
just had to be Choco Chippers Cereal. But the rest we kind of just made
up as we went.
As mom was preparing the gingerbread dough, my hubby and I were
getting the candy ready to apply. I cut out a few templates and husband
started breaking apart the Hershey’s bars. Once all the gingerbread was
made, we glued it together with mom’s special gingerbread icing recipe
that gets hard in seconds. (Very helpful when making a big “house”.)
We decided a Crunch Bar would work great for the fireback. Candy
canes held together with gummy wreaths was my husband’s ingenious idea
for the fireplace grate. It wasn’t a great stretch to figure out that
the logs could be made by simply stacking three Three Musketeer Bars!
But the fire on the logs took a little thinking, as well as a little
luck. We had some leftover candy from Halloween, so we decided to bring
it along, just in case. Turns out, it was the perfect color for the
fire! Several Sour Patch Gummy Pumpkins were squished and stretched to
achieve the realistic looking fire flames.
As for the stalkings, we squished and pressed together Swedish Fish
and cut them to the correct shape. Mom’s magic icing made a perfect
white fluff for the tops of the stalkings. The coal (if you can see it)
is made out of chopped up bits of chocolate dusted with cocoa. The
hearth is broken up pieces of Nilla Wafers interspersed with Jelly
Bellies. The plate for the cookies is a Oatmeal Pie and the glass of
milk is several white gummy wreaths stuck together with icing. And of
course the sign “For Santa” is made of to Crunch Bars and icing.
My husband and I had a blast making this together, from coming up
with the idea, to figuring out what to use for the different parts.
Spending time with family and being creative at the same time…. that’s
the best of both worlds!
Maybe this will serve as inspiration for your next Gingerbread House project. Happy Holidays!

yard work, and you are ready to relax. So why not start up your fire pit
as the heat of the day begins to cool off. Then sit back with a nice
cold beverage and watch the sun set. Break out the graham crackers,
Hershey's and roast some marshmallows over the fire pit to make some yummy s'mores! What a great
way to end a beautiful summer day!

• 0 commentsWouldn't it be fun this summer to create a new family tradition? Fourth of July is coming very soon and I was thinking how fun it would be to start a family tradition of roasting marshmallows around a fireplace. We could remind our children how important it is to be grateful for our great country and how we are blessed to have the freedoms we enjoy. If the weather permits, you could even go outside and have some 'smores (you know those yummy graham cracker, chocolate, melted marshmallow concoctions?) around a firepit or outdoor fireplace. Happy Fourth of July (a little early) and God Bless our Nation!
