How to Make Hocus Pocus Halloween Witch Broom Snacks

Let’s make it together! Follow these straightforward steps to create your delicious witch broom snacks:

Prepare the cheese by slicing each string cheese piece to create a fringe at one end. This will give your broom a delightful texture.
Insert a pretzel stick into the non-fringed end of the cheese piece, securing it firmly.
Spread a little peanut butter on the top of the cheese where the pretzel meets it. This acts as a tasty glue!
Wrap a chive or green onion piece around the top of the broom and secure it with more peanut butter if needed. The chive adds a wonderful pop of color.
Add googly eyes using peanut butter for decoration, making your brooms come to life with personality!
Repeat the process for as many Witch Broom Snacks as desired and place them on a serving platter, ready to charm your guests.
