Pretzel Broomsticks Food

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.

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

Steps:

• Cut 1 green shoestring licorice into 1-in. lengths. Arrange around end of 1 pretzel rod to form broom bristles; tightly wrap bristles with 1 black shoestring licorice, tucking in end to secure. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
