What Can I Use to Decorate the Pop-Tart House?
For this Pop-Tart House, you can use just about anything you want to decorate it. You can use all sorts of candy, sprinkles, icing, and more. The more you add to it, the better the outcome. You can choose to use regular candies or Valentine’s Day themed things, like candy hearts, or sprinkle hearts.
What Do I Use to Hold the Pieces Together?
So, there are two options that are most effective when trying to hold your Pop-tart House together. You can go the simple route by using icing to seal the edges and wait for it to harden. The other alternative is using hot sugar. You can melt sugar in a pot with water and dip the sides of your pop-tarts inside the melted sugar and hold until it hardens. Both ways work great, but the icing will probably work the best.

Supplies Needed
- Strawberry Milkshake Pop-Tarts (will need 6 pop-tarts – or three sleeves – for each house, we like to purchase them in bulk as they are a family’s favourite!)
- White frosting (will need about half a can for each house)
- Miscellaneous Valentine’s Day candy
- Piping bag
- Knife

Pop Tart House Tutorial
On one end of a pop-tart, cut one end to create a point. Place that pop-tart over a second pop-tart. Cut the pop-tart to match the shape of the first.

Place frosting in a piping bag and snip the end.

Using the frosting, attach the cut pop-tarts to two uncut pop-tarts to create a house shape.

Then, use the frosting to attach two pop-tarts to the top of the house as a roof.

With additional frosting, attach candy to the house.

Allow the frosting to dry or nibble away!
