Here are some other things needed:

• 5 recipes of rice krispy treats
• pretzel rods
• Gumdrops
• Starlight mints and any other candies you might like to use.

1. Assemble mini gingerbread houses. Assembly and decorating instructions included with kit.
2. Make rice krispy treats and push into a greased 12 x 18 sheet pan. We suggest using a spray oil. Flip out onto gold cardboard.
3. Make chocolate tree pretzel pops. We painted yellow, red and blue dots of chocolate in the tree first. let it dry, then filled with dark green chocolate. Place pretzel rod into space and roll pretzel in it's spot so chocolate covers the pretzel. Then put in freezer for approx 10 min.
4. Make royal icing and cover rice krispy treat with icing.
5. Arrange houses, trees, and icing decorations on top.
6. Last, melt isamalt in glass container and add a very small amount of blue color and pour on top to make ice skating pond.
7. After isamalt hardened we smeared a little icing on top to give it that icy look. 

Use your imagination and use different types of candies to give it a different look and Enjoy Eating It!!!
