Ingredients needed:
* 2 cans of vanilla frosting (16-ounce)
* Confectioners' sugar
* Green food coloring
* 1 package Petits Beurre crackers (7.5 oz)
* 1 package long, oblong cookies (12-ounce)
* 4 rolled cookies (Pirouette)
* 1 package of sugar wafers (12 to 16-ounce)
* 8 to 10 ice cream cones
* Assorted candies
Preparation steps:
* To make a stiff frosting, combine the canned frosting in bowl of electric mixer. Add enough sugar, by the half-cup, to make a frosting that stands up. Add 3 to 4 drops green food coloring to tint.
* You will need a flat surface on which to build the castle, such as a piece of cardboard covered with aluminum foil.
* Build the four walls with two layers of Petits Beurre crackers, following the photograph. Cement the cookies in place with the frosting. Building the walls will be easier if you have a milk carton or a rectangular shape in the center to hold the walls up until the frosting hardens.
* Place the long, oblong cookies at the point where the layers of cookies meet. Hold these together with frosting.
* To create the spiky gate, place a few upright rolled cookies and hold these together with frosting.
* Now build the castle's roof, using two rows of sugar wafers. Seal the sugar wafers together with frosting.
* Create turrets by placing the cones upside down on the four corners of the castle. Hold these together with frosting.
* For a finishing touch, add candies in Halloween colors to the structure. Personalize your castle with jelly beans, gummy snakes, even candies shaped like ghosts.
Enjoy
