To assemble house, place cereal mixture from 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan on foil-lined tray for base. 6. Cut the remaining pan of cereal mixture into four 5 x 3 1/2-inch rectangles for sides and ends of house and two 8 x 3-inch rectangles for roof. With one 5 x 3 1/2-inch rectangle, laying vertical, cut off top corners at an angle to form peak of house. Repeat with second 5 x 3 1/2-inch rectangle to form back of house. (Side walls, laying horizontally, should match bottom of angle cut in height.) Place the six pieces 1-inch apart on baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 250º F about 25 minutes. Remove from oven. Use spatula or knife to reshape pieces. Cool. Remove from pan. 7. Stand house front near center of base. Generously pipe frosting to attach house sides to back of house front.
