1 c. Crisco solid shortening
1 box 10x confectioners' sugar
1 tbsp. water
2 (1/2 pt.) milk cartons, empty
Assorted hard candies

Mix Crisco and sugar, adding water a few drops at a time to get spreading consistency. Wash out empty milk cartons and turn upside down to drain and dry. When dry close and tape spout in closed position. Use a knife to spread icing over sides of the milk carton, covering carton but retaining shape. Use candies and dry cereals to decorate like the house from Hanzel and Gretel. Styrofoam trays make a good base and you can use extra icing to make a snowy yard around your house.
