These Halloween broomsticks combine string cheese and pretzel sticks, with chive ties for broom bristles. Each cheese stick is cut into thirds, fringed at the bottom, and topped with a pretzel handle. A perfect no-bake treat for parties or lunchboxes.

Directions

Take each of the 3 string cheese sticks and cut them into 3 equal pieces, giving you 9 small cheese blocks.

Using a knife, make several thin vertical cuts about halfway up each cheese piece, creating a bristle-like fringe at the bottom while leaving the top solid.

Wrap a chive tightly around the cheese just above the fringe, tying it in a double knot. Snip off any excess chive, being gentle to avoid breaking it.

Insert a pretzel stick into the top of the cheese base. If the pretzel cracks or pushes the cheese apart, first poke a small hole with a toothpick to guide it in.
