  • 3 sticks String cheese sticks Cut into thirds for broom bristles.
  • 1 bunch Fresh chives or green onions Used to tie the broomsticks together.
Mummy Hot Dogs
  • 8 pieces Hot dogs These will be your mummies.
  • 1 tube Crescent roll dough To wrap around the hot dogs.
  • 2 tablespoons Mustard or ketchup For making eyes.

  • 1 cup Broccoli florets Used as 'pumpkin leaves.'

Method
 

Witch’s Broomsticks
  1. Start by slicing your string cheese sticks into thirds. These will be the brooms’ bristles.
  2. Stick a cheese piece onto one end of each pretzel rod.
  3. Use the chives or green onions to tie it all together. A quick knot will keep those witch brooms together.
  4. Arrange your broomsticks on a platter—bonus points if you set them next to a Halloween-themed sign!
Mummy Hot Dogs
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut it into thin strips.
  3. Wrap the strips around the hot dogs, leaving a little space for their 'eyes.'
  4. Place on a baking sheet and bake for about 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  5. Once they’re out of the oven and slightly cooled, add two little dots of mustard or ketchup to make those mummy eyes pop!
Pumpkin Veggie Platter
  1. Arrange the baby carrots in a jack-o'-lantern shape on a platter.
  2. Fill in the center with broccoli florets as 'pumpkin leaves.'
  3. Spoon some delicious hummus or ranch at the center for a great dipping experience.
