7. Witch’s Broomstick Cheese Sticks
Add a touch of whimsy to your lunchbox with these adorable, easy-to-make Witch’s Broomsticks. This snack-forward lunch component requires only three simple ingredients: mozzarella string cheese, pretzel sticks, and fresh chives. Cut each string cheese stick into thirds. On one end of each segment, gently peel the cheese fibers upward about halfway to create the frayed bristles of the broom. Insert a sturdy pretzel stick into the uncut end of the cheese to serve as the broom handle. To secure the look and add a touch of color, tie a fresh chive blade around the top of the cheese bristles, snipping off any excess. Pair these whimsical brooms with a side of sliced deli meats, grapes, and crackers for a balanced, playful charcuterie-style lunch.
