Now let's make some edible brooms!
Cleo's Witches' Brooms
Yields...as many as you like!
Ingredients:
String cheese
Celery stalks
Mini Peppers (or large pitted black or green olives)
Directions: To make each broom, cut the string cheese into thirds. Slice celery stalks into thin but sturdy slivers. Cut mini peppers (or large olives) into thin rings.
Now all you have to do is slice the cheese into broom bristles. The best way to do this is with sharp kitchen shears.
Serve them up on a pretty plate and watch them quickly fly away...into hungry mouths!
STORING NOTE: If making a few hours in advance of a party, store in the refrigerator. Be sure to cover the plate or tray with plastic wrap to prevent the cheese from drying out, and...
May your Halloween be...

Thanks for the nice comments, everyone. I felt like a kid again, putting this post together. It's fun to play with your food--one of the best things about Halloween. What other holiday are you expected to shape goodies into ghoulies, cover apples with candy, and carve up pumpkins, which reminds me, we still need to buy a jack-o-lantern worthy squash!
ReplyDeleteHave a Happy Halloween, everyone!

My granddaughters live with us, and I can't wait to try these out on Halloween. I may be able to get something healthy into them before they set off on their rounds. These are absolutely adorable! The girls will have such fun with them, especially 5 year old Molly, who is going to be dressed as a witch.
ReplyDeleteStephanie - Oh, you made my day! I loved hearing about your granddaughters, and I can just see your Molly, dressed as a tiny witch. I hope they enjoy these tasty little broomsticks and have a fantastic time trick-or-treating. Thanks for dropping in today, and...
DeleteMay your Halloween be delicious!
