How to make it
Use meringue powder instead of raw egg whites if anyone will eat the house, and check for food allergies before candy goes out.
1Make the icing glue
Beat the powdered sugar with the egg whites or meringue powder until thick and glossy, about 5 minutes.
2Fill the bags
Spoon icing into zip-top bags. Snip a small corner off each.
3Build 4 walls
Pipe icing on a plate. Stand 4 cracker squares in it to make a box, icing every edge that touches.
4Add the roof
Lay 2 crackers on top at an angle like a tent. Pipe icing along the peak.
5Let it set
Wait 15 minutes so the walls firm up.
6Decorate
Stick candies on with dots of icing. Pipe icicles along the roof edge.
Edie's tipA small milk carton makes a sturdy core. Ice crackers onto its sides and the house won't collapse.
