From haunted Halloween chocolate cookie houses, to chocolate bar houses, and even Pop-Tarts houses, the limit of gingerbread houses does not exist.
Or a "gingerbread chalet" as one Redditor calls it.
Kidding. But also sort of not.
Charcuterie boards are elegant displays of fine cheeses and cured meats, usually paired with appropriate veggies, fruits, and sometimes even nuts to give your guests a beautiful selection of posh snacks to choose from.
But once you let your eyeballs relax, it actually turns into a thing of beauty. People love admiring charcuterie boards, so who wouldn't enjoy an entire chalet of these delectable displays?
I don't know about you, but I rarely eat the gingerbread once it's sat on my counter for three weeks, collecting dust and becoming a rock-hard example of once-edible architecture.
As Bon Appétit's Brad Leone says, "have some fun with it."
Basically, pick whatever you think be aesthetically pleasing (and, you know, tasty), and then get to building.
