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 base to your house. First, lay two Snyder’s of Hanover Pretzel Rods the length of a Snyder’s of Hanover Pretzel Rod apart. Then, pipe a thick layer of royal icing along these two Snyder’s of Hanover Pretzel Rods. Place ten Snyder’s of Hanover Pretzel Rods on top of the base two rods in the opposite direction like a ladder.  
2
Add approximately twenty-three Snyder’s of Hanover Sticks for the porch floor.
3
Add Snyder’s of Hanover Snaps to the front of the porch.
4
To build the roof of the cabin, glue together four full size graham crackers using royal icing.
5
Using royal icing as the glue in between, stack twenty or so Snyder’s of Hanover Rods on top of each graham cracker panel.
6
Allow royal icing to dry before putting the cabin together.
7
Securely attach roof pieces down to the base just behind the porch floor with royal icing. The two pieces should be angled towards one another attached at the center with royal icing to form a peak.
8
Add Pepperidge Farm Pirouettes to the front edge of the roof with royal icing. Using graham crackers, create two triangles and securely attach them for support under the roof using royal icing, on the front and back sides. Decorate with royal icing and Snyder’s of Hanover Minis.
9
Use graham crackers to create a chimney base. Decorate the chimney with Snyder’s of Hanover Snaps.
10
For the door, use a Pepperidge Farm Milano Double Dark Chocolate Cookie and part of a Snyder’s of Hanover Minis for the window.
11
Create a wreath above the door using icing or candy.
12
Add coconut flakes to the floor surrounding the cabin for snow effect.
13
Add white icing to the top of the cabin to create snow over the roof.
14
Decorate with candy for additional decor.
