Costco’s New Kit Kat Kit Makes a Gingerbread House You Actually Want to Eat
In fact, it doesn't involve gingerbread at all.
Gingerbread houses are one of the holidays’ best traditions. Done well (like our resident gingerbread expert, Courtney Kassel), they’re fun, festive, and make for the cutest holiday table centerpiece. But even the most professionally constructed gingerbread houses still have one flaw: nobody really wants to eat them.
So, what’s the solution? Making a gingerbread house without any gingerbread at all. And thanks to Kit Kat, now you can.
Kit Kit Christmas Cabin Kits at Costco
Just spotted at Costco: ‘Christmas Break’ Kit Kat Christmas Cabin Kits are now being sold at the warehouse store, and fans are calling them a “need,” not a want.
The kit comes with all the ingredients you need (including colorful decorating candies), as well as step-by-step instructions for you and your kids to follow along. Then, as soon as you’re done admiring your build, you can “have a break” and enjoy your favorite chocolate treat—that is, if you’re able to actually put it together before eating all the candy.
The best part about building your ‘gingerbread house’ with Kit Kats is there’s no fear of the gingerbread cracking and crumbling. Instead of icing, the whole thing comes together with chocolate candy melts, which adhere beautifully to the chocolate bars. Not to mention, the signature Kit Kat bar shape creates the perfect log cabin aesthetic.
Now, if you watched the video, don’t be alarmed by the 37.99 price tag. This video was actually recorded in Australia, so the price is in AUD. Translated to American dollars, that’s about $25, which is way more reasonable.
Kit-Kat’s Christmas Cabin Kit is the perfect wintertime activity to complete with kids while they're home from school. Fans in the comments called this a “new Xmas tradition” and “a must for this year!”
Unfortunately, it seems like this fun new candy kit is only available in Australia right now (why does Australia get all the best Costco goodies?). “It's in Australia,” reported one Instagram user. “I saw it at the Melbourne Costco last month.”
But, who knows? With enough begging, maybe Santa can make a special delivery of Kit Kat Kits to America before the holiday season ends. Worst case scenario, you can always use this exclusive Costco find as inspiration for your own candy construction. After all, gingerbread house decorating is all about creativity.
