1-First Step: Get the ingredients readyStart by gathering the mozzarella cheese sticks, pretzel sticks, fresh chives, and a large toothpick. Since this Halloween Witches Broom Treat has a very short prep time, it helps to set everything out before you begin. Wash and dry the chives so they are easy to tie later.

2-Second Step: Cut the cheese sticksCut each mozzarella cheese stick in half crosswise so you have 8 shorter pieces. This is the base of your witch broomsticks. The cheese should be cold when you cut it because that helps the shape stay neat and clean.

3-Third Step: Make the broom bristlesTake each cheese half and make small slices about halfway down the bottom end. Do not cut all the way through. Once the slices are made, gently pull them apart so the cheese looks like a broom head. This step gives the Halloween Witches Broom Treat its fun, spooky look.

4-Fourth Step: Add the pretzel handleUse a large toothpick to poke a hole in the top, unsliced end of each cheese piece. Then insert one pretzel stick into the hole. The pretzel becomes the broom handle, and it also adds a nice salty crunch that pairs well with the mild cheese.

5-Fifth Step: Tie on the chiveWrap the top of the pretzel with one fresh chive and tie it into a knot to secure it. This little step gives the snack a true broomstick look. If the chive feels stiff, let it sit at room temperature for a minute so it bends more easily.

6-Final Step: Repeat and serve right awayRepeat the same steps with the remaining ingredients until all 8 servings are done. Serve immediately so the cheese stays firm and fresh. Since this Halloween Witches Broom Treat is best served right after assembly, it is a great recipe to make just before guests arrive or right before snack time.
