Halloween Gingerbread Men

Halloween Gingerbread Men decorated with ready to roll icing, to create spooky and creepy characters.

These Halloween Gingerbread Men are a great Halloween project for the kids to get stuck into.

I make up my usual gingerbread dough recipe, then spread the cooled, cooked gingerbread men with buttercream (you can make it yourself or buy it ready made in a tub) - this helps the icing stick.

The kids then rolled out some ready to roll icing (Renshaws) and used a knife and gingerbread cutters to cut out the shapes they wanted. We made ghosts, zombies, witches and mummies....and they tasted yummy! Be as creative as you dare!

Pin the recipe for later!
