The holiday season is upon us, and we couldn’t be more excited! It’s a time filled with delicious food, great friends and unforgettable memories. A classic activity that we all love to engage in around this time is building a gingerbread house with family & friends, and at NECCO, we’re no exception. We also have heard from a lot of our great fans that they often use our NECCO Wafers for shingles and Candy Buttons as little light bulbs. That got us thinking… why not see what kind of masterpieces our fans can whip up. That’s why today we’re pleased to announce the launch of our “GINGERBREAD CONSTRUCTION ZONE CONTEST.”
Here’s the basic run down of this adventure:
- Build a Gingerbread House using any of our NECCO candies! Get creative here – don’t limit yourself to just NECCO Wafers… use Candy Buttons, Nonpareils, Mary Janes, etc. Let’s see what you’re creative genius is capable of!
- Email us TWO (2) photos of your Gingerbread house to social@necco.com Include one photo of just your gingerbread house and the second photo must include you posing with your masterpiece! Don’t worry; we won’t use the one that shows you. It’s just so we can prove you’re the creator because there are too many images floating around the internet. For the sake of a fun, fair contest we need a little proof
- At the end of each day, we’ll add submissions of the house-only photos to our “Gingerbread Construction Zone” Pinterest board at: http://pinterest.com/neccowafers/gingerbread-construction-zone-contest
- Vote by LIKING your favorite Gingerbread House on Pinterest. Be sure to tell your family & friends to vote too – most likes wins!
GRAND PRIZE: Sweet Stocking Stuffer Prize Pack – which will include a big, delicious assortment of NECCO candies that you can stuff your loved ones’ stockings with. [Or indulge on by yourself 
both are great options. =) ]
Submissions must be received by 11:59PM ET Friday December 14th
Voting will be open until 12:00 PM ET Monday December 17th

Get building – we can’t wait to see the masterpieces you create! =)
Dear Necco,
We appoligize about this but we could not find where to leave a comment about your Sweethearts. We highly suggest that you make some hearts with the words “U LEAVE ME BREATHLESS”. We suggest this because we watched Futurama and they had a heart shaped candy that said this. We believe that it would be epic to eat these and feel as if we were in the show.
Sincerely,
Two Futurama Fans =)
Marie, that’s a fun idea for fans of the show! While we aren’t able to print that on all of our Sweethearts, we do want to let you know about our new webstore which allows you to personalize Sweethearts and NECCO Wafers with your own messages: http://MyNecco.com ! Take a look! =)
