About this deal

Our verdict:We had a bit of a disaster building this gingerbread campervan, and were disappointed with the kit overall. Contains: Gingerbread house pieces, 2x gingerbread biscuits, pre-made icing, 3x bags of sweets, plastic base.

You're also instructed to cut one of the pieces yourself with a knife, which is a task that could destroy your house before you've had the chance to build it. Once the house was up we were pleased with its appearance, and we really had to fight the urge to chomp on the chimney, which is a Flake. Consider buying a gingerbread house kit with a base if you want a speedier, stress-free building experience.It simply wouldn’t be Christmas without the taste of mouth-watering chocolate to sweeten the season. Looking for the perfect chocolate Christmas gift for your favourite niece? Fussy colleague? Sweet-toothed mum? No matter who you’re shopping for this year, our festive gifts are guaranteed to hit the spot. Four expert tips to help you build your gingerbread house 1) Plan what you want to do before you start However, we thought there wasn't quite enough icing to really go to town on the decoration. We'd recommend keeping the pre-made icing for another baking day and making a big batch of your own to ensure you don't run out. If you fill those holes with icing before slotting the wall pieces in, you won't have to hold them in place for long. Contains:Gingerbread house pieces, icing sugar, fairytale folk biscuits, fruit gums, chocolate buttons, hundreds & thousands, piping bag.

If you have aspirations to one day step into the Bake Off tent, then this could be the gingerbread house kit for you. If you're just up for a bit of lighthearted Christmas fun, though, we'd give it a miss. Gingerbread house building is an exciting activity, and it can be all too tempting to rip open the box and get to building straight away. In the box you'll find a selection of Cadbury chocolate bars. We were surprised that none of the chocolate came pre-cut into shape, which means you'll need to cut several pieces out of the house yourself using the whole bars. We thought even professional bakers might get fed up with building this gingerbread house, though. You're instructed to hold the house pieces together in place for 15 minutes on several occasions, which we think takes some of the fun out of the activity. There are grooves baked into the roof and walls of this house, which are handy guidelines for easy decoration.As we found with John Lewis' pre-made icing, the icing in this kit was runny and didn't hold the pieces together very securely. Unwrap delicious chocolate Christmas hampers bursting with all their favourite Cadbury goodies, from the addictive taste of Crunchie to silky smooth Dairy Milk, decadent Bournville and sweet Cadbury Fudge. Explore chocolate hampers paired with top tipples and select from wine, prosecco and beer options to suit every palette — the perfect Christmas prezzie, if you ask us. The festive season is here and it's time to get your home ready for friends and family to celebrate. We've got all the perfect home decor ideas too. From Christmas garlands, decorative wreaths and festive furnishings, it's easy to give your home a seasonal spruce. And it wouldn't be Christmas without some Christmas biscuits, including an adorable (and delicious) gingerbread house to really wow our guests. The gingerbread houses we found easiest to build were those that came with a base piece included. These often have holes baked into them, which the wall pieces of your house should slot into neatly.

Our verdict: We think this delightful gingerbread house kit is sure to putyou in a funChristmassy mood.It was by some way our favourite overall, especially in terms of appearance.It saves you a task if your gingerbread house kit comes with icing included, but you'll need to decide if the amount that's included is enough for what you plan to do.

We liked the flavour when we tasted it, but we found the texture dense and chewy. If experience and appearance is more important to you than eating the gingerbread, we think this is the best kit you can buy. It's worth having a look online at a few gingerbread house design templates if you're struggling for ideas. The gingerbread house pieces in this kit are smooth and plain, so there's no indication of how you might go about decorating it. The instructions advise that you draw your design fully before starting so you know exactly what you're going to be doing with your piping bag.

Cadbury Dairy Milk Merry Christmas Gift Bar 850g

The two-tone Winter Wonderland bars with their Christmas tree patterns form the roof, and the Flakes trims the apex. The experience of decorating the house was intricate and took us a while, but we found it rewarding and were very pleased with the result. There's a brilliant variety of decorations included that come in all colours, shapes and sizes.
