These Halloween Peeps Houses are a fun and easy edible craft. Using chocolate wafer cookies, melted candy melts, and festive decorations, you can assemble a tiny house and top it with a ghost Peep. Perfect for a Halloween party or a creative family activity.

You'll need

Chocolate wafer cookies (18-20 wafers for 1 house)

Chocolate CandiQuick or brown candy melts

Halloween icing decorations or fondant decorations

Halloween Sprinkles

Ghost Peeps

Directions

Separate the chocolate wafer cookies. For the house shown, 20 wafers were used: 4 per side, 4 for the back, and 8 for the roof.

Melt the CandiQuick or candy melts following package directions (typically microwave in 30-second bursts). CandiQuick is found in the baking aisle, but any candy melts work.

Spoon the melted candy into the corner of a sandwich bag to create a makeshift piping bag.

Snip a tiny piece off the corner of the bag.

Pipe a small amount of melted chocolate along the edges of the wafers to construct the sides and back of the house.

Build the roof by piping melted candy on top of the house, leaning wafers together, then adding more melted candy on top.

Attach edible Halloween decorations to the roof of the house.

Adorn the front of the house with sprinkles and additional decorations.

Place a ghost Peep inside the house.
