Predstava je nastala na podlozi istoimene popularne priče Braće Grim,sa adaptiranim tekstom da je prijemčiv i deci predškolskog uzrasta,jer se na šaljiv i maštovit način dočarava priča,a Ivica i Marica bez straha i iz dečije radoznalosti ulaze u avanturu i tako odlaze dublje u šumu gde nailaze na čokoladnu kuću. Miris slatkiša ih uvlači u veštačku zamku ,ali dve pametne dečije glavice uspevaju da nadmudre pomalo zaboravnu bakicu. Neizostavni deo predstave je,naravno,muzika,tako da će deca,uz duhovit tekst,moći da se zabave i uz prepoznatljive pesmice.
