Witches Brooms Recipe 455

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.

WITCHES' BROOMS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 2 cookie sheets with cooking spray. Unroll breadstick dough on work surface. Cut dough in half crosswise, and separate to make 16 strips; cut each of the strips in half lengthwise to make 32 thin strips. Place strips on cookie sheets, 1 inch apart. Using a small paring knife or kitchen scissors, make 4 thin cuts (2 inches long) on 1 end of each strip. Spread out cut ends to make bristles of each broom. Brush dough with oil; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with marinara sauce.
