Witches Broom Pretzels

These simple and easy Witches Broom Pretzels are the perfect way to get in the spooky Halloween spirit! Kick off the Halloween season with these fun treats today!

I love easy recipes. I just do. They’re great to have on hand when you want to make something creative but you just don’t have the time to devote to an hour long (or more!) project.

I also love when I can find a recipe that my kids can help with. There’s just something about being together in the kitchen that allows for the creativity to flow. It’s a time when we can bond together, work together and create together and as a busy mom, I cherish those moments.

This is why I love this Witch Broom recipe so much. With just a few simple ingredients and mere moments of time, these adorable treats are done and ready to be enjoyed.

Give yourself a break this Halloween season and give this simple Witch Broom recipe a try!

Ingredients to Make Witches Broom Pretzels:

3/4 C Mini pretzel sticks
½ C chocolate chips
sprinkles

How to Make These Halloween Snacks:

Line a baking sheet with waxed or parchment paper.

Melt chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second increments, mixing after each, until smooth.

Add to a piping bag with a writing tip or simply use a plastic sandwich bag and snip a small edge off.

To make sure chocolate will stick to the brooms, add a small dot of chocolate to the paper then add the end of the pretzel stick on top to secure.

Start squeezing the bag in a back-and-forth motion at the end of the pretzel stick, forming the straw/bristles of the broom. Then decorate your bristles with your favorite Halloween colored sprinkles.

Place in freezer for 5 minutes or refrigerator for 15, or until firm.

Serve to your favorite goblins.

Creating the Perfect Summer Afternoon

The summer is dwindling down here in Florida, the kids only have 3 weeks left of school break and we are trying to cram in as much family fun as possible in before the first school bell rings. One of our favorite things to do is to ride our bikes as a family to one of the local playgrounds. We have such amazing bike trails here in Tampa Bay that a nice bike ride followed by a picnic and some time on the swings is a perfect way to spend an afternoon.
