Have you ever actually eaten a gingerbread house? It tens to get stale very fast, and doesn’t taste that good. In fact, you could argue that it’s a bit wasteful. All that delicious candy, put on display until it turns hard as a rock and gets tossed into the garbage somewhere around January 4th. Tragic.

Well, if you want to experience the fun of making a gingerbread house, with the added bonus of it actually being delicious…….the charcuterie chalet is here to save this holiday season tradition!

Charcuterie chalets are the salty alternative to sweet gingerbread houses. Instead of cookies and candy, you build your house out of meats, cheeses, crackers….the options are endless.

Check out a couple examples here:
