DIY Graham Cracker Houses & Peanut Butter Cheesecake Recipe!
I love the Holiday’s! It is a time to spend with family and friends, share stories, make memories…oh and of course decorate and bake your favorite Holiday Recipes for loved ones! Recently my family and I decided to build fun #PBandG Graham Cracker Houses and as dessert I made a Skippy Peanut Butter Cheesecake to go with it! Our family filled Holiday Night really got us in the mood for Christmas. I am so glad #CollectiveBias encouraged me to make one again this year. It was so much fun making our house and we enjoyed every last bite of the Peanut Butter Cheesecake! Yum!
Every year my family and I spend family time together building a Holiday House. We loving coming up with new designs and decorations each and every year. Plus they are so fun to eat later! Last night my husband, daughter and I got out all the fun candy, Skippy Peanut Butter and Honey Maid Graham Crackers so we could build a fun Holiday House! Check out our amazing creation! We had so much fun!
Items Needed:
Assorted candy
Creamy Skippy Peanut Butter
Box of Honey Maid Graham Crackers
Directions:
1. To get started to you will want to build your walls by spreading Skippy Peanut Butter on each side of your Honey Maid Graham Crackers to help them stick together. Start by making a square out of your crackers. You can choose to build a large house or a small house. The choice is up to you. We decided to stack two Graham Crackers on top of each other in a square to make our house big. We also carefully cut crackers to help hold the roof together. Before adding the roof you will want to make sure you have enough Skippy Peanut Butter spread on the sides and back to help hold the Graham Crackers into place.
2. Once you have the basic structure of your house done you will just need to decorate it! Spread a little peanut butter onto each piece of candy and stick it where ever you want to on your Graham Cracker House!
3. Leave out to help add some festive cheer or eat it!
I love building with a Holiday House with Skippy and Honey Maid! The possibilities are endless and our houses look so different every year.

We use graham crackers to make our gingerbread houses too. The easiest way to make them!
Such a cute idea to use graham crackers. That looks so easy I might have to attempt it with our six year old. 🙂
I never thought of using peanut butter instead of icing to hold the house up! Of course, I have a kitty that likes peanut butter so it wouldn’t work for us. Great-looking “gingerbread” house!
I think I will skip the gingerbread house making and head straight to the peanut butter pie!! Thanks so much for the delicious looking recipe!
I love the house – I’ve never thought to use graham crackers before! Can’t wait to make one with my son 🙂
Wow! The gingerbread house is so cool 🙂 The cheesecake looks very delicious. I would love to try this recipe if only my little girl is not allergic to peanut butter 🙁
We’ve got to do this! So fun to do it with peanut butter too!
I must tell you, that is the most lovely graham cracker gingerbread house I’ve ever seen. And the pie??? FEED ME!!!! Thanks for the beautiful share!
Oh wow I would have never thought to use graham crackers before. Im sure that would make it more fun for my kids since they love them.
What a great idea! I always use frosting, but peanut butter would make it less sticky! Love it! The cheesecake is pinned for later!
I love the gingerbread house. I made one with my kids a few years ago. They are harder to make than it looks.
I love the idea of a graham cracker house. I don’t like the taste of gingerbread that much, so this is a perfect alternative.
That pie looks delicious and that house looks adorable. Perfect for the holidays!
