The best way to make windows is to bake your gingerbread piece as you normally would - making sure to cut out a place for your window BEFORE baking.
After your piece has cooled, brush off any loose crumbs and flour. Place gingerbread piece on a fresh piece of aluminum foil. Place Braches Butterscotch discs into the window area (I've tried jolly-ranchers and lifesavers, but they tend to melt a few weeks later). You kind of have to eye-ball how much candy to place in each window area.
Bake in 350 oven for about 4 - 8 minutes (depending on window size), keep checking and remove piece from oven when all the candy has melted.
I've found that you can crush the candy to have more precise placement - and it melts quicker. However, I normally use the candy whole
Let the piece dry overnight and carefully remove the aluminum foil.
