Categories     appetizer

Time 15m

Yield 12 brooms

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 sticks string cheese
12 pretzel sticks
6 long or 12 short thin chives
1 to 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard

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.

Yield 12 broomsticks

Number Of Ingredients 3

12 string cheese sticks
12 pretzel rods

Hold a string cheese at the solid end with your thumb and forefinger wrapped around it; insert a pretzel rod into the top of the cheese as you hold it firmly. Tie two long chives around the top of the cheese, about 1/4 inch down from where the pretzel and cheese meet. Snip away any excess chive. Arrange these cheesy appetizers on a serving tray with more savory snackables.

Provided by By Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
10 pretzel rods, about 8 1/2 inches long, cut crosswise in half
2 teaspoons shortening
2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Butterscotch-flavored chips, melted

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Mix brown sugar, butter, water and vanilla in medium bowl. Stir in flour and salt. Shape dough into twenty 1 1/4-inch balls.
  • Place pretzel rod halves on ungreased cookie sheet. Press ball of dough onto cut end of each pretzel rod. Press dough with fork to resemble "bristles" of broom.
  • Bake about 12 minutes or until set but not brown. Remove from cookie sheet. Cool completely on wire rack, about 30 minutes.
  • Cover cookie sheet with waxed paper. Place brooms on waxed paper. Heat shortening and chocolate chips over low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth; remove from heat. Spoon melted chocolate over brooms, leaving about 1 inch at top of pretzel handle and bottom halves of cookie bristles uncovered. Drizzle with melted butterscotch chips. Let stand until chocolate is set.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients ahead of time. This will help you stay organized and prevent any last-minute scrambling.
  • Make sure your pretzels are fresh. Stale pretzels will not hold up well in the oven and will be more likely to break.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the pretzels. A dull knife will tear the pretzels and make them look sloppy.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Give the pretzels enough space so that they can bake evenly.
  • Keep an eye on the pretzels while they are baking. They can burn quickly, so it's important to remove them from the oven as soon as they are golden brown.
  • Let the pretzels cool completely before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

Homemade pretzel broomsticks are a fun and festive treat that are perfect for Halloween parties or gift-giving. They are easy to make and only require a few simple ingredients. With a little creativity, you can create unique and delicious broomsticks that your friends and family will love.
