How to Make Trees for a Gingerbread House

A gingerbread house is complete when the decorations are added and. One can make the house a million different ways. The simple country home could have an ivy vine piped onto the side and a drive leading up to it. Here is how to make trees you can use to live the drive.

Instructions

1

Make the trunk of the tree out of several pretzel sticks "glued" together with royal icing in the shape of a trunk or use 1 large pretzel stick. Cut the pretzels to size. Match the trunk proportionate to the house's height.

2

Follow the directions to make crispy rice treats. Double the amount of marshmallows in your recipe. This will make the tops of the trees harder.

3

Add green food coloring to the crispy rice treat pan. Use a small amount of brown food coloring if you want darker green leaves. Mix in the food coloring while the "leaves" are still hot.

4

Mold the tree tops into a ball. Wear the heat resistant gloves since you have to work with crispies mixture. Insert the trunk into the tree while it is still warm and pliable. Set aside.

5

Add decorative "apples" to the gingerbread house's trees. Use Red Hots or red sprinkles to get the best effect. Your trees are ready for the drive.
