Some info from NIkki:

The Knusperhäuschen or Hansel-and-Gretle Lebkuchen house is a German Christmas tradition. With this flat-pack kit of home-baked gingerbread panels you get straight to the fun bit: building and decorating. Think of it as Ikea meets the Brothers Grimm.

The Gingerbread is mixed, rolled and cut out by hand and these little boxes of love include: 1 x base, 1 x front panel, 1 x back panel, 2 x side panels, 2 x roof panels, 1 x heart, 3 x Christmas trees, 1 x Heinzelmännchen / gnome.

The constructed and completed house (pictured above) is simply one icing interpretation but by all means, go wild! Slice marshmallows for overlapping roof tiles, use pretzels to build perimeter fences and candy canes for door frames and windowsills – after all Hansel and Gretle plucked sweets and cookies from the walls of the witch’s house!

Dimensions: The Halfway Haus is 25cm high and 15cm to 16cm wide at the base of the roof and sits on a base that is about 15cm x 19cm.
