Elevate Your Gingerbread House With See’s Candies: The Best Candy for Gingerbread Houses
The perfect treats for unforgettable gingerbread decorations.What do gumdrops, sprinkles and licorice have in common? They’ve been holding a monopoly on gingerbread house decorating for far too long.
This year, it’s time to raise the (gingerbread) roof and bring some serious sweetness to your holiday crafting with a See’s-style makeover.
Whether you're building a cozy candy cane cottage, Santa’s workshop or a winter wonderland of your own creation, See’s Candies are the ultimate edible upgrade for your gingerbread house making tradition.
Create Your Gingerbread House Masterpiece
Now, we’re not saying you need a degree in architecture to craft a show-stopping gingerbread house, but with a few strategically placed Strawberry Medallions, a Milk Chocolate Santa and your signature creativity, you’ll be on the cover of Gingerbread Digest before you know it! (Is that a thing? If not, it should be!)
Here’s how you can turn your gingerbread house into a nostalgic, whimsical and utterly delicious holiday centerpiece with a little help from some of See’s most iconic treats.
The Best See’s Treats for Gingerbread Houses
Perfect for roof shingles, peppermint pathways or candy cane fences, these red-and-white classics bring minty, “candy cane lane” vibes to your gingerbread house. Line the walkway, top the roof or create a fence so charming, even Santa’s reindeer would stop to admire.
Great for cobblestone driveways, chimney toppers or snowball accents, these shiny chocolate balls add just the right touch of shimmer and flair to your build. Tuck them along rooflines, or stack them up in a bunch, but don’t be surprised if a few disappear mid-construction.
Give your gingerbread house an upscale look with these rich, Dark Chocolate Balls. Use them as elegant garden edging or chic trim accents to bring everything to life.
Festive wreath? Done. Fancy front door decor? You got it. Stained-glass windows with a strawberry twist? Why not. These delicious soft chew candies add thoughtful red accents wherever your gingerbread house needs it. And bonus points if you lay them down as festive doormats!
Jelly Beans
Use these colorful little beans as twinkling string lights along the roofline, bright shutters or rainbow flower boxes. They add that fun pop of color and cheer to every corner of your gingerbread house.
Place a Milk Chocolate Santa at the front door to welcome everyone with holly-jolly charm and classic See’s sweetness. He’s the perfect holiday host that’s ready to greet friends and family with a smile (and maybe a little mischief).
These crunchy milk and dark chocolate Molasses Chips are perfect for creating rustic roof shingles, walkways or cozy log cabin siding for your gingerbread house. They add amazing texture and capture that classic holiday cabin look, especially when dusted with powdered sugar for a snowy effect.
Build your chimney stack with Cinnamon Little Pops® for a bold, spicy twist. Their bright red color and classic shape make them the perfect finishing touch for rooftops that need a little extra holiday heat.
Turn Holiday Sweets Into Something Unforgettable
Decorating gingerbread houses with See’s treats is more than a project, it’s a memory in the making. From kids giggling over delicious jelly bean lights to grown-ups "taste-testing" half the roof (for quality control, of course), this is holiday crafting at its sweetest.
So, grab your frosting, unwrap the best candy for gingerbread houses and let the fun begin! Just be sure to take a lot of pictures of your work, because once you get a little taste, there’ll be no gingerbread house left to admire.
