Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate House Kit, Christmas Chocolate, Suitable for Vegetarians, Sustainable Cocoa, 840 g

Product Information

Similar to the Biscuiteers gingerbread house kit, the house pieces are blank. You're probably best off planning how you want to decorate the house before starting out. Decorating the front can be a little more intricate with edible figures, icing snow, a gingerbread tree and sprinkles to contend with, so if a child is building this house they may need a hand with that bit. MELT the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% POWER. Begin with 20 second bursts then reduce to shorter bursts as the chocolate melts, stirring well periodically. Only heat until 75% of the chocolate has melted.

The chocolate house kit is full of sweet and creamy milk chocolate. You’ll receive two Cadbury Dairy Milk Bars, two Cadbury Dairy Winter Wonderland Edition bars, white buttons and flakes. It’s not all chocolate, though. The Christmas Cottage Kit also includes the Dairy Milk Winter Gingerbread Edition bar! Plus, the kit comes with instructions for assembly. There's no piping bag included in this kit either, so we had to use butter knives when attempting to decorate it. Our verdict: We think this delightful gingerbread house kit is sure to putyou in a funChristmassy mood.It was by some way our favourite overall, especially in terms of appearance.But if you want your house to be a real centrepiece, you'll want to give yourself some thinking time beforehand to work out what you'd like to do with the included decorations and which patterns you'd like to pipe with your icing. Building a gingerbread house is a classic Christmas tradition, and it’s a great way to bond with your family. However, if you’re looking for a twist on the traditional gingerbread house, Cadbury’s chocolate house kit is for you! What’s in Cadbury’s chocolate house kit? Gingerbread house building is an exciting activity, and it can be all too tempting to rip open the box and get to building straight away. Our verdict:We had a bit of a disaster building this gingerbread campervan, and were disappointed with the kit overall.

As soon as the icing hits the gingerbread it'll start to dry and set, so you'll get into trouble if you change your mind about your decoration halfway through. 2) Look up designs if you need inspiration You're asked to melt a certain amount of the chocolate in the microwave and use it as cement. As fun (and messy) as that was, we thought that melted chocolate was an ineffective cement compared to icing. The gingerbread houses we found easiest to build were those that came with a base piece included. These often have holes baked into them, which the wall pieces of your house should slot into neatly.

It's worth having a look online at a few gingerbread house design templates if you're struggling for ideas. Contains: Gingerbread house pieces, 2x gingerbread biscuits, pre-made icing, 3x bags of sweets, plastic base.

We found it fun and easy with plenty of fun grooves baked into the walls and roof of the house to help guide you.In the box you'll find a selection of Cadbury chocolate bars. We were surprised that none of the chocolate came pre-cut into shape, which means you'll need to cut several pieces out of the house yourself using the whole bars.
