Who needs a gingerbread house when you can make a gourmet popcorn shed!

I’m going to be honest…this recipe is a little bit fiddly but totally worth it as it’s so deliciously tasty and has a big WOW factor!

The popcorn house is very versatile. It can be made for the festive season, an alternative to a birthday cake or just because!

Not only is this recipe completely gluten free but it also requires no baking!
