INGREDIENTS

  • 6 fresh strawberries
  • Melted chocolate (for coating)
  • Melted lighter-colored chocolate (for decorating)
  • 3 thin breadsticks or pretzel sticks, cut in half (to make 6 broom handles)
  • 6 Cheerios-style cereal rings (for the broom base)

RECIPE

  1. Wash and dry the strawberries, then remove the green tops.
  2. Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate until fully coated. Let any excess drip off.
  3. Place one cereal ring at the tip of each strawberry to serve as the base of the broom.
  4. Insert half a breadstick or pretzel stick into the tip of each strawberry to create the broom handle.
  5. Use a piping bag or a small zip-top bag to pipe vertical chocolate lines down the strawberry, making the broom bristles.
  6. Add a band of lighter-colored chocolate around the top of the broom bristles to create the “waist.”
  7. Chill the broomsticks in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes until the chocolate sets.
