Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 sticks Cheese sticks (mozzarella or string cheese)
- 12 pieces Pretzel sticks
- 12 stems Chives (fresh)
Instructions
Cut each cheese stick into 3 equal-sized pieces. You should have 18 pieces in total.
On one end of each cheese piece, make vertical slits about three-quarters of the way up to create a fringed or broom-bristle look.
Insert a pretzel stick into the uncut end of each piece of cheese to form the broomstick.
Wrap a stem of fresh chive around the top of the cheese piece, just below the pretzel stick, to secure the bristles in place. Tie it gently but firmly to hold the cheese and pretzel together.
Repeat for the remaining pretzel sticks, cheese pieces, and chives until you have assembled all the Witches Brooms.
Arrange the Witches Brooms on a platter and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
