Supplies:

½ lb. Make’n Mold vanilla candy wafers
Make’n Mold microwaveable tray (5700)
Make’n Mold mini squeeze bottle (5106)
5 whole graham crackers
Various candies for decoration
¼ lb. Make’n Mold red candy wafers
¼ lb. Make’n Mold dark green candy wafers

Melt vanilla candy wafers in microwaveable tray according to package instructions. Fill mini squeeze bottle with melted wafers. You will be using the melted wafers to “glue” the graham cracker pieces together. (You may have to remelt wafers in the squeeze bottle if they harden while you are working. Simply remove the cap and place in microwave for 30 seconds on HALF POWER only!)

Begin building house by adhering one full graham cracker (laying it on its long side) to one half graham cracker, making a right angle. Hold pieces together for approximately 20 seconds or until they are secure. Allow to set another 1-2 minutes before touching. Make a second right angle with another whole and one half graham cracker.

When both right angle pieces have hardened, use melted vanilla wafers to adhere them together, forming one complete square. Hold together for approximately 20 seconds, then allow to set for an additional 1-2 minutes to harden completely.

Form the roof of the house by adhering two whole graham crackers together on their long sides, at about a 45° degree angle. Hold together for approximately 20 seconds, then allow to set for an additional 1-2 minutes to harden completely.

Squeeze melted wafers onto the top of the graham cracker square, then gently place roof onto the sides. Hold in place for approximately 20 seconds, then allow to set for an additional 1-2 minutes to harden completely.

Set the roof of the house onto the sides, using melted vanilla wafers to gluse the melted white wafers and the mini squeeze bottle with writers cap to decorate. Use candies and red and green candy wafers to decorate the home.

3¼ pounds Make’n Mold vanilla candy wafers
28 ounces sweetened condensed milk
24 ounces white baking chips
28 ounces sweetened flaked coconut
3½ cups chopped walnuts or pecans
12" x 4" styrofoam cone

Melt condensed milk and white baking chips in candy melter on the melt setting, stirring often until completely melted. Add nuts and stir. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl. Allow mixture to cool to the touch 10-15 minutes, then chill 1-2 hours or until mixture is thick enough to roll into balls. Clean and thoroughly dry the melter bowl, while mixture is chilling.

Melt vanilla wafers in candy melter (be sure melter is completely dry) according to package instructions. Roll the bon bon mixture into teaspoon-size balls and dip into melted vanilla wafers. Roll in coconut. Place on waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Chill 10-15 minutes.

Wrap waxed paper around styrofoam cone. Secure with tape. Spread melted wafers onto bottom of styrofoam cone to secure to plate.

Build the tree by dabbing a small amount of melted vanilla wafers onto each coconut ball then attaching to the styrofoam, holding 2-3 seconds to secure. Work around the tree from the bottom to the top.
