  4. Place a breadstick across the peak of the roof
  5. Cut matchstick style pieces of Comté and layer the sides of the house alternating between Comté pieces and the italian breadsticks ( if italian bread sticks are too long just cut them according to the size of your box), repeat this for the two sides and back
  6. Use a large square and rectangle cut of comte to cover the front part of the house
  7. Use a croccantini crack for the door, corn nuts and cranberries for the windows
  8. Use pistachios trim for the roof
  9. Secure chalet on board covered with extra cream cheese and use herbs to create trees
  10. Add pistachios to create a stone walkway from the door.
  11. Optional wreath: take a sprig of Thyme wrapping the spring in a circle and securing the circle by twisting the ends around itself as you make the circle shape. Secure in the cheese with a toothpick end
