What to do:
[list=1][*]Tint the frosting orange and set aside.
[*]Use 1/2 cup of orange frosting to spread on the bottom of both pound cakes then press them together. Stand the cakes up so that they are vertical on a serving plate.
[*]Create the pitch of the roof by trimming the top of one cake on a slight angle to give it the appearance of looking tipsy. Trim the other cake on a steeper angle. Completely cover the cake with remaining orange frosting. Break the chocolate wafers in half and arrange, overlapping slightly, as the roof.
[*]Using the photograph as a guide, pipe black decorating icing for the windows and other decorations. Add the TWIX® Brand FUN SIZE® Bars as the door and chimney. Use broken wafer cookies for the shutters. Use M&M’S® Brand Peanut Chocolate Candies Pumpkin Patch Mix to outline the top of the roof and sides of the house.
[*]Grind the remaining cookies along with a few TWIX® Brand FUN SIZE® Bars in the food processor. Spread this mixture around the base of the house as "dirt". Scatter M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies Pumpkin Patch Mix on the cookie "dirt".
