While it seems only the serious cooks are dedicated to creating them, gingerbread houses have earned their place in holiday lore as delicious, beautiful treats.
Now Farley's, the candy company that brings you great sweets, is helping make the task a little easier. They've released a holiday decorating guide -- a legend that helps determine how to better decorate your holiday house.For example, the pamphlet advises you to use peppermint twists as door posts or pillars. Or try cinnamon imperials as brick walls, doorknobs, or roof or chimney edging.
