Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 mozzarella cheese sticks, cut in half
- 8 pretzel sticks
- Fresh chives (enough to wrap around each broomstick)
Instructions
- Prepare the cheese sticks: Cut each mozzarella cheese stick in half so you have 8 pieces. Then, make small slices about halfway down the length of each cheese piece, being careful not to cut all the way through as you’ll need the top intact to insert the pretzel stick.
- Create the broom effect: Gently pull apart the slices you made in the cheese to fan them out, mimicking the bristles of a witch’s broom.
- Make a hole for the pretzel stick: Using a large toothpick, carefully create a hole at the top, uncut part of each cheese piece to insert the pretzel stick securely.
- Assemble the broomstick: Press a pretzel stick firmly into the hole of each cheese piece so it stands upright like a broom handle.
- Wrap with chive: Take one fresh chive and wrap it around the cheese where it meets the pretzel stick, tying a small knot to hold it in place and complete the broom’s look.
- Serve: Arrange your cheesy witches pretzel broomsticks on a platter and serve immediately for a whimsical and tasty snack.
Notes
- This recipe is a quick and healthy Halloween snack that kids can easily help make.
- Use fresh mozzarella sticks that are firm to hold the shape well.
- Ensure the slices in the cheese aren’t too deep to avoid breaking the broom’s structure.
- Chives add a decorative and flavorful touch but can be omitted if unavailable.
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
