" We thought we&amp;#039;d seen it all when it comes to outrageously elaborate gingerbread houses \u2014 but this one blew even us away. The Texas A&amp;amp;amp;M Traditions Club in Bryan, Texas, recently built a 39,201.8-foot gingerbread house that measures 60 by 42 feet, and consists of more total baking ingredients than Good Housekeeping&amp;#039;s Test Kitchen can use in a year (Note: This is unconfirmed). What went into the making of this masterpiece? A whopping 3,000 pounds of brown sugar, 7,200 eggs, 7,200 pounds of flour, and 1,800 pounds of butter, which amounts to a grand total of 36 million calories. The sweetest part isn&amp;#039;t in the house&amp;#039;s walls, though \u2014 the club is offering visitors time with Santa in exchange for a small donation to a local hospital&amp;#039;s new ER and trauma center. Another recent gingerbread record is the building of an entire gingerbread village, dreamt up by a cook from the Bronx and currently on display at the New York Hall of Science. With 157 buildings, it includes a school, a town hall, a train terminal, a hot chocolate brewery (but of course), and more. \u00A0 This article originally appeared on Goodhousekeeping.com "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
