Halloween Snack - Hexenbesen


A witch's broom (Hexenbesen) made from cheese and pretzel sticks is perfect as a snack for parties. Here's a simple recipe for making them:

Ingredients

Pretzel sticks

Sliced cheese (e.g., Gouda or Cheddar)

Chives  (for decoration)


Instructions

Prepare the cheese:

Cut the sliced cheese into 2-3 cm wide strips and 6-8 cm long.


Fringe the cheese:

Make small cuts at one end of the cheese strip to create fringes. Be careful to leave the other end intact so the cheese holds together.


Assemble the broom:

Wrap the uncut end of the cheese strip around the end of a pretzel stick.

Use a piece of chive to secure the cheese at the top end of the pretzel stick. Tie the chive around the cheese to make it look like the broom handle.


Serve

Arrange the finished witch's brooms on a plate and serve as a delicious Halloween snack.
