Besides being a blast to put together, these houses are budget-friendly—some are so inexpensive that you could order one for each member of the family and hold your own decorating contest! Once they’re finished, the edible decorations will make a wicked addition to your Halloween mantel, or they can even take center stage as a festive Halloween centerpiece. Plus, decorating these edible houses make a good activity for the kids if you’re looking for an alternative to trick-or-treating this year. (But don’t worry adults, you’re more than welcome to get in on the fun too!) Of course, you can eat the cookie house after you’ve finished decorating, but to curb your cookie cravings during the building process, we recommend whipping up a batch of homemade Halloween cookies to eat while you complete your spooky candy-covered houses. To help you get started on the Halloween fun, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite options available online.
