  3. Spread the parchment paper across the cookie tray.
  4. Now, separate the 2 cinnamon rolls together at a time.
  5. Do this 4 more times. You want pairs of 2. 
  6. Next, unwind a pair of 2 cinnamon rolls but keep them together if you can. 
  7. It's time to make ONE side of the pretzel.
  8. Just braid from end to end and set on one side of the tray.
  9. Repeat this and do it for the other side of the pretzel.
  10. Of course, repeat again for the bottom of the pretzel. 
  11. Now you need to make the 'x' across the center of the pretzel.
  12. It's best to watch the video for this.
  13. Basically, you are going to braid another set of rolls and go top to bottom in a diagonal, then for the other side as well. 
  14. Do leave overhang at the base of the pretzel. 
  15. Bake at 375° for just 12-15 minutes (ovens vary so watch yours).
***TIP***
  1. Remove, and while the tray is cooling, place the icing cups n the middle of the pan (sitting on the metal lids so the plastic does not melt from the heat).

  2. What you are doing is warm the icing up so it is easier to spread. 
  3. Once the pretzel is cooled, spread the icing across the pretzel with a spatula, and if wanted you can sprinkle with Holiday Sprinkles.
