Have you ever wondered why we only build gingerbread houses at Christmas? Well, Cadbury has brought back its delicious alternative to the festive tradition and its a much-loved Dairy Milk Chocolate House Kit, packed with almost 1kg of chocolate.
Rather than frantically fiddling with icing and gingerbread, this clever kit lets you build an entire chocolate cottage using Cadbury's best-loved treats. Inside you'll find everything you need to assemble your own festive creation, including Dairy Milk bars, Dairy Milk Winter Wonderland bars, buttons and a single chocolate flake (for the chimney of course), with the instructions and template printed on the box itself. Altogether, that's a whopping 840g of chocolate.
We first came across the chocolate house a few Christmases ago and loved the fact it turns chocolate into a fun, festive activity rather than simply another box of chocolates to unwrap and devour. Whether you tackle it as a family, make it part of a Christmas movie night or turn it into a date-night challenge, it's one of those gifts that's definitely about the experience as it is the chocolate.
And unlike a traditional gingerbread house that can end up going stale on the side for weeks, this one is far more tempting to nibble your way through once it's built - but watch out for its structural integrity once you start chomping away!!
Available exclusively from Cadbury Gifts Direct, the Chocolate House Kit costs £14 and is available to order now.
