Halloween Broomsticks Recipes

WITCHES' BROOMS

Steps:

• Cut each piece of string cheese in half so you have 2 shorter sticks. Working one at a time, make 4 cuts vertically in one end of the cheese sticks, stopping about 3/4 inch from the top. Roll the cheese so the cuts are not parallel to the cutting board, and make 2 or 3 more cuts to form the bristles of the broom. Press a pretzel stick into the uncut end of the cheese stick to make the handle. Tie a chive in the middle of top (uncut) end of the cheese stick; this holds the broom head together. Repeat for the remaining brooms.
• Spread the mustard haphazardly on the bottom of a black or white plate. Stand the brooms up on their bristles as if they are sweeping up the mustard.

PRETZEL BROOMSTICK

Steps:

• Cut each string cheese stick into thirds. Snip the ends of each third into thin strings to look like a broom.
• Place a pretzel stick into each piece of string cheese to create the broom handle. Tie a spinach strip around the cheese.

BREADSTICK BROOMSTICKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Unroll dough and divide along perforations.
• For each broomstick, shape breadstick into 8 X 1-1/2-inch strip; twist one end for handle. Cut 5 or 6 slits (2 inches long) into opposite end; separate dough at slits for bristles of broom.
• Brush egg over dough.
• Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the bristles. If using garlic powder sprinkle over the parmesan cheese.
• Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
• Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown.

HALLOWEEN BROOMSTICKS

Steps:

• Cut each cheese stick in half
• Insert a pretzel into the uncut end of each half cheese stick.
• With scissors snip a fringe all around the base (or cut end of cheese stick).
• Use a chive at the top of the cheese stick and snip away excess chive after it is tied.
• Twist and spread fringe as shown. So Cute!!
