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 the cheese, as you need to leave space at the top for the pretzel stick insertion.
- Create the broom effect: Gently pull apart the small slices on each cheese piece to mimic the bristles of a broom.
- Make a hole for the handle: Use a large toothpick to poke a hole at the top of each cheese piece where the pretzel stick will be inserted.
- Assemble the broomsticks: Press one pretzel stick into the hole created in the cheese, ensuring it is secure.
- Wrap with chive: Wrap a fresh chive around the base of the cheese where it meets the pretzel stick to resemble the broom tie, then make a knot with the chive to keep it in place.
- Serve: Arrange the cheesy witches pretzel broomsticks on a serving platter and enjoy immediately.
