How to make the Witch’s Broomsticks
The first thing you need to do is gather the three ingredients you need. Cut each piece of string cheese in half.
Using a paring knife, make a slice up half of the string cheese to create the “frayed” broom look. Make 3 more slices similar. This is the feathered broom part of the witch’s broomstick.
Next up you need the pretzel sticks. Insert a pretzel stick into the top of the other end of string cheese that you haven’t sliced.
Tie a chive around the upper portion, under where the pretzel is which you didn’t slice to create the finished look.
There you have it, your Halloween Witch’s Broomsticks. Enjoy!
