Fit the round top to the piping bag and fill the bag with royal icing.

The A-Frame base is 1 square (about 6x6”) using pretzel rods and pretzel sticks (plus pretzel snaps for the front of the porch). Place 2 pretzel rods parallel and 1 pretzel rod’s length apart (about 6”) on the work surface. Pipe a thick layer of icing across the tops.

Arrange 10 pretzel rods crosswise on top, pressing the ends into the icing. Pipe a thick line of icing on the first 5 pretzel rods, and place the pretzel sticks crosswise on top to cover (the half covered with the sticks will be the porch- ice the front edge and cover with pretzel snaps).

Triangular walls consist of 2 tall triangles (4.5” base and 8” on each side) using graham crackers and pretzel minis. For each triangular wall, arrange and cut graham crackers on the work surface to form a tall triangle (4.5” at the base and 8” on each side). Glue the graham cracker pieces together with thick lines of icing. Let dry completely.

Spread with a thick layer of icing and decorate with pretzel minis. Let dry completely.

Roof pieces are 2 rectangles (10x5” each) using graham crackers and pretzel rods. For each roof piece, arrange 4 graham crackers two-by-two to make a 10x5” rectangle. Glue the graham crackers together with thick lines of icing. Let dry completely.

Cover with a thick layer of icing and pretzel rods. Let dry completely.

The chimney is 4 rectangles (about 1 ¼x5”) using graham crackers and pretzel snaps. Cut 4 chimney pieces (2 graham crackers in half lengthwise, about 1 ¼x5” each). Glue the long sides together to form a box, using thick lines of icing. Let dry completely. (NOTE- do not cut the chimney angle until the A-Frame is assembled and dry)

Using a serrated knife, gently cut the base of the chimney at an angle so it will sit flush against the roofline.

Cover with a thick layer of icing and pretzel snaps.

Allow everything to completely dry.

Decorate with candy and gingerbread people. Admire and enjoy!
