Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 24 miniature peanut butter cups, unwrapped
- 24 pretzel sticks
- Frosting or gel icing (for adhering pretzel sticks)
Instructions
- Arrange Peanut Butter Cups: Place the unwrapped miniature peanut butter cups upside down on a plate, preparing them as the base of the brooms.
- Apply Icing: Squeeze a small amount of frosting or gel icing onto the center of the peanut butter cup top to serve as an adhesive.
- Insert Pretzel Sticks: Gently press one pretzel stick into the icing on each peanut butter cup, positioning it to resemble the handle of a broomstick.
- Store Properly: Place the finished witches’ brooms in an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to one week. Avoid freezing to preserve texture and appearance.
Notes
- If the peanut butter cups become too warm and sticky when unwrapping, freeze them for a few minutes to make handling easier and prevent the chocolate from pulling off.
- Gel icing works well for the adhesive, especially colored gel icing for a festive look, but you can also use frosting piped in a small bag to secure the pretzel sticks.
