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

Product Information

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.

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. REPEAT to form both sides of the house. Shape house so corners area as square as possible. Allow a few minutes to stand.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. We thought even professional bakers might get fed up with building this gingerbread house, though. You're instructed to hold the house pieces together in place for 15 minutes on several occasions, which we think takes some of the fun out of the activity. There's no piping bag included in this kit either, so we had to use butter knives when attempting to decorate it. With Christmas 2023 fast approaching, it’s time to get excited about what you’ll stash under the tree to surprise friends and family with on the big morning. Piping icing is great fun with this kit. Along with the piping bag there are a few different nozzles included so you can mix up the shape of the icing as you decorate.

However, we thought there wasn't quite enough icing to really go to town on the decoration. We'd recommend keeping the pre-made icing for another baking day and making a big batch of your own to ensure you don't run out. Four expert tips to help you build your gingerbread house 1) Plan what you want to do before you start The experience of decorating the house was intricate and took us a while, but we found it rewarding and were very pleased with the result. There's a brilliant variety of decorations included that come in all colours, shapes and sizes. Contains: Gingerbread house pieces, 2x gingerbread biscuits, pre-made icing, 3x bags of sweets, plastic base.If you fill those holes with icing before slotting the wall pieces in, you won't have to hold them in place for long. If you have aspirations to one day step into the Bake Off tent, then this could be the gingerbread house kit for you. If you're just up for a bit of lighthearted Christmas fun, though, we'd give it a miss. 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? The decoration didn't disappoint, either. We found it fun and easy with plenty of fun grooves baked into the walls and roof of the house to help guide you. If you run out halfway through, you'll need to make fresh icing that will likely be a slightly different shade to the icing that came with the kit. This can really ruin the appearance of your gingerbread house.
