Title: gingerbread house "glue"

The best way to put your house together is with melted granulated sugar.

In a skillet.....heat granulated sugar until it becomes a liquid. DO NOT TOUCH it or you will burn yourself good! I have put my houses together this way for years (and have burnt myself a couple of times as well!)

You can "dip" the area that you need glued and hold it together for a moment and it will harden almost instantly. don't try to "pour" it on the area or you will create a huge mess :)

Hope this helps!!
