Hi everyone! I'm hate gingerbread, and I'm not a big fan of graham crackers, and I'm looking to build a house out of some kind of edible substance! Hence my dilemma. I'm not a chemist or a chef so I'm not quite sure what does what in recipes, so I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on what I could substitute in a gingerbread dough recipe that would make it not taste like gingerbread at all, or if anyone has any other suggestions. Thanks so much everyone!

Ok, well, generally, gingerbread ho uses are for decoration and are NOT eaten. They sit out and get stale and are not worth eating. So why not use graham crackers? You're not going to eat it anyway. (are you?!?!?!?)

Well, you could go the route of making peanut brittle or another candied concoction, cutting it is hard since it is ore glass like.. You could melt chocolate with a little oil and pour it into sheets that you cut out.. You could use marzipan.
However.... I would think you should give your shot at using a crispy style chocolate chip cookie recipe, but cooked on a baking sheet instead. Or even a snickerdoodle. Pretty much any harder cookie will work..
Or, if you want to go for real fun, get some puff pastry, or make it, and cut strips and bake them, then assemble your house like you would a log cabin.
Just some ideas, I never did good with pastries.

My recipe demands a million a million/2 cups molasses and 2/3 cup water with a million/2 cup shortening. And no sugar. each and every thing else is in fact the comparable. EDIT : I in straightforward terms placed mine interior the refrigerator for 2 hours btw! Edit returned: forgot, that is Brown sugar, no longer sugar..and that is a million cup!

hey try using store bought sugar cookie dough, just roll it out cut out the shapes that you want and bake at a lower temperature than the package says and for a longer time, this should dry out the cookie enough to make it strong and sturdy

How about rice crispies...make them on a sheet pan, cut into desired shapes...then let them sit out to harden a bit. That should work! Good luck!

Well, I'm sitting here eating a pop-tart and seems like they are pretty sturdy for walls.

Well most of whatever you use might not be edible, but I wonder if hard bread would work...
