Easy Halloween Party Food - Witches Broom
Ingredients needed for this easy Halloween party food:
- Mini pretzel sticks
- Chocolate chips
- Sprinkles
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment paper
- Piping bag
Directions to make a witches broom Halloween snack:
STEP 1: Get your supplies ready
Before starting to make this fun Halloween snack you need to make sure all your supplies are organised and to hand. You will need a bowl full of mini pretzel sticks, a bowl of chocolate chips, some sprinkles and a piping bag. You will also need to line a baking sheet with waxed or parchment paper.
STEP 2: Add melted chocolate to a piping bag
Make sure your chocolate chips are in a microwave safe bowl and then melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 20 second increments. Mix the chocolate after each 20 seconds and continue heating the chocolate chips until the chocolate is smooth. Add the melted chocolate to a piping bag with a writing tip or simply use a plastic sandwich bag with the corner snipped off.
STEP 3: Make the stick of the broom using a pretzel stick
Now you have your melted chocolate ready it's time to begin making the witches broomstick. To make sure the chocolate will stick to the brooms, add a small dot of chocolate to the waxed or parchment paper and then add the end of the pretzel stick on top to secure it. Reapeat this step for the number of chocolate broomsticks you would like to make.
STEP 4: Form the bristles of the broom using chocolate
The next step is where the fun really begins. It's time to make the bristels of the broomstick. Start squeezing the piping bag full of melted chocolate in a back-and-forth motion at the end of each pretzel stick. Take your time and carefully form the bristles of the broom.
STEP 5: Add sprinkles
These Halloween snacks are beginning to looks like broomsticks now! You could leave them as they are, but to make them really look like witches brooms why not add some sprinkles! You need to add the sprinkles while the chocolate is still melted so that the sprinkles stick to the chocolate.
STEP 6: Freeze or refrigerate until firm
That's it, your chocolate witches broomsticks are now complete, you just need to leave them until the chocolate is firm. Placing the chocolate brooms in the freezer for 5 minutes or refrigerator for 15 minutes will help the chocolate to firm up.
Your chocolate witches broomsticks are now ready to be served up as a halloween snack or as a special treat.
We hope that you enjoy making these easy Halloween snacks. Don't forget to take a look at all our other Halloween activities. These chocolate witches brooms are just one of many easy Halloween party food ideas for kids that you might want to try.
