Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 mozzarella cheese sticks, cut in half
- 8 pretzel sticks
- Fresh chives
Instructions
- Prepare the cheese sticks: Cut each mozzarella cheese stick in half to create 8 pieces. Then, make small slices about halfway down each piece, being careful not to cut too far up, leaving space at the top for pretzel stick insertion.
- Shape the bristles: Gently pull apart the small slices on each cheese piece to mimic the bristles of a broom, creating the broom’s brush effect.
- Create insertion hole: Use a large toothpick to carefully poke a hole at the top of each cheese piece where the pretzel stick will be inserted, ensuring a snug fit.
- Assemble the broomsticks: Press one pretzel stick into each hole in the cheese pieces, making sure they are securely attached and stand firm.
- Add the broom tie: Wrap a fresh chive around the base of the cheese where it meets the pretzel stick to resemble the broom tie, then tie a knot with the chive to hold it in place.
- Serve and enjoy: Arrange the cheesy witches pretzel broomsticks on a serving platter and enjoy immediately as a tasty, whimsical snack.
Notes
- Serve immediately to prevent mozzarella from drying out or the pretzels from becoming soggy.
- You can substitute mozzarella cheese sticks with string cheese if preferred.
- Use thinner pretzel sticks for a more realistic broomstick appearance.
- Chives add color and help keep the broom tie in place; alternatively, use thin strips of green bell pepper or edible string.
