Harry Potter Pretzel Broomsticks
String cheese cut into broomstick bristles, fitted with a pretzel stick handle and tied with a fresh chive — a no-cook Harry Potter party snack ready in 15 minutes.
Ingredients
- 6 string cheese stick
- 18 thin pretzel sticks
- 18 long chive leaves
Instructions
- Cut each string cheese stick crosswise into 3 equal pieces. You should have 18 cheese sections total.
- Using a small knife, cut the bottom two-thirds of each cheese piece into ¼" wide strips to create the frayed bristle effect of a broom. Be careful not to cut more than two-thirds of the way through — the top portion needs to stay intact to hold the pretzel handle.
- Use a wooden skewer to gently press a hole into the top uncut end of each cheese piece, about ½" deep and just wide enough to fit the pretzel stick.
- Gently twist a pretzel stick into each hole, pressing carefully so the cheese doesn't split or tear.
- Tie a chive leaf snugly around the cheese just below the pretzel handle, where the bristles begin. Trim any excess chive with scissors.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 hours before serving.
