Equipment

  • Skewer or sharp tool

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for DIY Witches Brooms
  1. Begin by lining a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Unwrap 20 mini peanut butter cups and place them in a row for easy access. Next, arrange your thin pretzel sticks alongside the cups, ensuring they are sturdy and ready to transform into broom handles.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, add 1/4 cup of chocolate chips. Heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until it melts smoothly. This should take about 60–90 seconds.
  3. Carefully poke a small hole in the center of each peanut butter cup using a skewer or a sharp tool, ensuring they are deep enough to hold the broom handles.
  4. Dip one end of a pretzel stick into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Insert the chocolate-coated end into the center hole of a peanut butter cup, pressing gently to secure. Repeat this process with the remaining cups and pretzel sticks until all 20 DIY Witches Brooms are assembled.
  5. Use the remaining melted chocolate to drizzle around the base where the pretzel meets the peanut butter cup while the chocolate is still warm. Sprinkle Halloween-themed sprinkles or edible glitter.
  6. Allow your delightful DIY Witches Brooms to set at room temperature for about 15 minutes. If you’re in a hurry, chill them in the refrigerator for 5–10 minutes until the chocolate is firm to the touch.
