Mini Witch’s Broomsticks Recipe ‍♀️

Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity

Pretzel sticks 1 pack (about 24)
String cheese 1 pack (about 12 sticks)
Chives (fresh or dried) 2 tablespoons
Cream cheese spread 1/4 cup
Black olives (pitted) 12

Directions

Unleash Your Inner Witch:Channel your inner witch and prepare to work your culinary magic.

String Cheese Transformation:Take a piece of string cheese and cut it in half. Now, make thin vertical cuts on one end of each half, leaving about an inch uncut at the top. These cuts will resemble the bristles of your broomstick.

Pretzel Sticks and Broom Handles:Gently insert a pretzel stick into the uncut end of each cheese half. Your broomsticks are starting to take shape!

Chive Binding Spell:Grab a chive and tie it around the top of each broomstick, where the cheese meets the pretzel. This will secure the bristles in place. Don’t worry; it’s not as tricky as spellcasting.

Creamy Cauldron:In a cauldron (or just a regular bowl), mix the cream cheese spread until it’s nice and creamy. You can add a pinch of salt or your favorite spices for extra flavor.

Olive Potion:Slice the black olives into small rounds. These will be the spooky eyes of your witchy broomsticks.

Broomstick Details:Use a small amount of cream cheese spread to attach two olive slices to each broomstick, creating eerie eyes that stare back at you.

Presentation is Everything:Place your mini witch’s broomsticks on a serving platter. You can add some extra chives for garnish to give it that bewitching touch.

Serve and Cackle:Your Mini Witch’s Broomsticks are ready to enchant your taste buds. Serve them at your Halloween party and watch as your guests cackle with delight!

Picture this:Mini broomsticks made of cheese and pretzel sticks, soaring through your party like a witch’s coven on a midnight ride. It’s easy to create these savory delights that will cast a spell on your taste buds. All you need are some pretzel sticks and cheese slices. Wrap the cheese around the pretzel stick, leaving a small portion at the top to resemble the bristles of a broom. Voilà! You have a bewitching snack that’s both adorable and tasty.

Instructions

Broom Base:Unwrap the mini Reese’s peanut butter cups. These are the bases of your witch’s broomsticks.

Stick It:Insert a pretzel stick into the top of each peanut butter cup. This is the handle of your broomstick.

Witch’s Whiskers:Use string cheese or chives to tie a “whisker” around the top of the peanut butter cup. These are the bristles of your broomstick.

Serve with Spookiness:Arrange your mini witch’s broomsticks on a platter and let your guests take flight into flavor.

Mummy Hot Dogs Recipe

Ingredients

Hot dogs: 1 pack (8 hot dogs)
Crescent roll dough: 1 can
Mustard or ketchup (for the eyes)

Directions

Preheat the Tomb…Err, Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Get it nice and toasty.

Mummify the Dogs:Unroll your crescent roll dough and separate it into thin strips. These will be the bandages for your mummies.

Wrap ‘Em Up:Take a strip of dough and start wrapping it around a hot dog. Leave a little gap near the top for the mummy’s face. Continue wrapping until you’ve used all the dough and your hot dogs look like they’re wrapped in mummy bandages. Don’t worry if they look a bit messy; mummies are known for their tattered appearance.

Into the Tomb (Oven):Place your mummy hot dogs on a baking sheet and pop them into the preheated oven. Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the dough turns golden brown and the mummies are cooked through.

Mummy’s Eyes:Once your mummy hot dogs are out of the oven and have cooled slightly, it’s time to give them eyes. Use mustard or ketchup to create tiny dots for eyes. Make them as spooky or as silly as you like!

Serve with a Scream:Arrange your Mummy Hot Dogs on a platter and watch them disappear faster than a ghost in the night. These are perfect for Halloween parties or a fun dinner any time of the year.

These mummy hot dogs are so cute you almost won’t want to eat them. Almost. Grab some crescent roll dough and wrap it around your hot dogs, leaving a small space for the mummy’s “eyes.” Bake until golden brown, and then add dots of ketchup or mustard for the eyes. These little mummies will disappear faster than you can say “trick or treat.”

Instructions

Wrap and Roll:Preheat your oven to the crescent roll dough’s recommended temperature. Wrap each hot dog in a strip of dough, leaving a gap for the mummy’s “bandages.”

Bake to Perfection:Place your mummy hot dogs on a baking sheet and bake according to the dough instructions. They’re ready when they’re golden and “mummified.”

Mummy’s Eyes:Use mustard or ketchup to add “eyes” to your mummy hot dogs.

Serve with a Scream:Your mummy hot dogs are ready to haunt your Halloween spread!

Monster Eyeballs Recipe

Ingredients

Peanut butter:1 cup (creamy or crunchy, your choice)

Butter:1/2 cup (unsalted, softened)

Powdered sugar:2 cups

Vanilla extract:1 tsp

Semisweet chocolate chips:1 cup

Candy eyeballs:24 (or as many as you desire)

Directions

Monster Prep:Get into the monstrous spirit and prepare your workspace. Lay out a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Peanut Butter Base:In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is blended well. This will be the gooey, delicious base for your monster eyeballs.

Roll ‘Em Up:Roll the peanut butter mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. These will be the eyeballs’ cores. Place them on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Chill Out:Pop the baking sheet into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will help the peanut butter balls firm up a bit.

Melting Monsters:In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips in 20-30 second intervals, stirring each time until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.

Dip and Decorate:Take the chilled peanut butter balls and, one by one, dip them into the melted chocolate. Coat them evenly and return them to the parchment paper.

Eye See You:Before the chocolate sets, place a candy eyeball onto the center of each chocolate-covered peanut butter ball. Press gently to make sure it sticks. These are the monster’s eerie eyes, watching your every move!

Set and Serve:Allow your Monster Eyeballs to set by placing them in the fridge for another 20-30 minutes. Once they’re firm, they’re ready to serve!

Looking for a spooky but healthy snack? Stuffed olive “eyeballs” are the answer. All you need are green pimento-stuffed olives and some cream cheese. Fill each olive’s cavity with cream cheese and use a toothpick to draw squiggly red veins on the outside. These eyeballs are almost too realistic to eat – almost.

Instructions

Monstrous Base:Cut pitted black olives in half. These will be your monster’s “pupils.”

Creepy Creation:Take each mini mozzarella ball and make a small hole in the center, like an eye socket.

Eye of the Monster:Insert half an olive into the hole in the mozzarella ball. It’s the eye of your monster.

Serve with a Roar:Place your monster eyeballs on a plate and serve them with a side of marinara sauce for extra ghoulishness.
