Witch Broomstick Pretzel Sticks with Cheese
Equipment
- Knife
- Cutting board
Ingredients
- 12 pretzel sticks
- 4 string cheese sticks
Instructions
- Lay the string cheese sticks on a cutting board. Use a knife to make several lengthwise cuts at one end of each cheese stick, stopping about halfway down to create thin strips that will look like broom bristles.
- Gently pull the cut strips apart with your fingers so they fan out slightly.
- Insert one pretzel stick into the uncut end of each cheese stick, pushing it in about half an inch so it stays secure.
- Repeat with all cheese sticks and pretzel sticks until you have 12 broomsticks.
- Arrange the finished pieces on a serving plate.
Notes
If the cheese feels too firm to cut cleanly, let it sit at room temperature for five minutes first. You can prepare these up to two hours ahead and keep them covered in the fridge, though the pretzels stay crispest when added just before serving. Skip any added salt since both the pretzels and cheese already carry enough flavor.
