Tips and Tricks

HONEY MAID Honey Grahams Gingerbread Men Dippers:

Place 1 whole HONEY MAID Graham, top side down, on microwaveable plate. Cover with dampened paper towel. Microwave on HIGH 20 to 30 sec. or just until graham is softened. Immediately place softened graham, top side up, on flat surface. Carefully cut graham into 3 gingerbread men shapes using 1-3/4- to 2-1/4-inch gingerbread man cookie cutter. Repeat with 1 more graham to get 3 additional gingerbread men shapes. Cool completely. Decorate with decorating icings and small candies as shown in photo. Use 5 gingerbread men cutouts to decorate top of cake as directed in recipe. Reserve remaining gingerbread man and any graham scraps for snacking or other use, such as serving over bowls of fruit, ice cream or pudding.

Make Ahead:

The cake layer can be baked ahead of time. Wrap the cooled cake layer tightly in plastic wrap, then freeze up to 1 month. Thaw in refrigerator overnight before decorating as directed.

Variation:

Omit the mixed green and white sprinkles. Prepare recipe using a white holiday cake mix with candy bits in the mix.
