Tools
  • Piping bags with a round tip
  • Optional: leaf tip for icicles
  • Cutting board
  • Serrated knife
  • Large plate/platter
  • Sheet pans lined with parchment paper or tin foil
Tips
  • Use graham crackers as needed to support pretzel walls.
  • Ensure you have royal icing, not cookie icing, to hold together your house. If you need to make your own royal icing—combine 1 large egg white, 2c confectioner sugar, and 1/2tsp water.
Directions
1
Begin by building the walls to your log cabin. Fit a piping bag with a round tip and fill with royal icing, then place nine Snyder’s of Hanover Pretzel Rods on a lined sheet pan. Pipe a thick line of icing across the length of a Snyder’s of Hanover Pretzel Rod and then place another Snyder’s of Hanover Pretzel Rod on the side. Repeat until all nine Snyder’s of Hanover Pretzel Rods are stacked side by side, creating one of the four walls for the log cabin. Repeat three more times to create a total of four walls and let fully dry.
2
To create the gable to fit with an angled roof, use a serrated knife to carefully and gently saw through the Snyder’s of Hanover Pretzel Rods, using up to nine. Continue to stack and adhere the Snyder’s of Hanover Pretzel Rods together on a sheet tray until you reach the desired angle/height for your log cabin. Repeat this process for two of your walls to create the front and back of the house.
3
To build the roof, place four graham crackers on a lined sheet pan and use some royal icing to attach them in one large sheet. Use icing to attach the Snyder’s of Hanover Snaps as if they were shingles on the graham cracker, starting from the bottom edge and layering them slightly on top of each other. Repeat entire process to create the second section of your roof and let dry.
4
Construct your cabin on a large platter and begin by attaching the four walls together with royal icing and let dry. Once walls are stable, attach the roof pieces in a similar matter, using icing to adhere the roof to the tops of the walls.
5
To finish, use the Snyder’s of Hanover Dipping Sticks to create a door for your cabin and decorate with candy.
