Step 1: Prepare the Cheese

• Cut each string cheese stick in half to create 12 shorter pieces. These will form the broom bristles.

Step 2: Create the Broom Bristles

• Gently pull apart or shred the bottom half of each piece of string cheese to create a broom-like appearance. Leave the top half intact.

Step 3: Assemble the Broomstick

• Insert a pretzel stick into the top of each cheese piece where it’s still intact. This will be the handle of the broomstick.

Step 4: Tie the Broom

• Take a fresh chive and tie it around the top of the cheese, just below the pretzel stick, to secure the “bristles.” Trim any excess chive if needed.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

• Arrange the Cheese Broomsticks on a platter and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
