Witch’s Broomstick Cheese Sticks
This whimsical, low-carb snack is incredibly easy to assemble and adds instant height and texture to any Halloween lunchbox. Take a standard mozzarella string cheese stick and cut it into thirds. On one end of each piece, make several vertical cuts stopping halfway up, fraying the cheese to look like the bristles of a broom. Insert a sturdy pretzel stick into the uncut end to serve as the broom handle. To secure the bristles and add a pop of color, tie a single chive or a thin strip of green bell pepper around the top of the frayed cheese.
These adorable broomsticks are packed with calcium and protein, offering a satisfying crunch alongside the soft cheese. They fit perfectly into narrow bento box compartments and can be prepped the night before without losing their structural integrity.
