This year, Grinnell Girl Scout troop leader, Linda Tish, brought her Scouts to help with the project. There was much prep work necessary, but residents had fun making them and eating candy as they did!
A gingerbread house is a novelty confectionery shaped like a building that is made of cookie dough, cut, and baked into appropriate components like walls and roofing. The usual material is a cake made with molasses and flavored with ginger. The houses, covered with a variety of candies and icing, are popular Christmas decorations.
