Fall is all about savoring cozy moments—like curling up with a warm snack on a crisp evening. These “Spooktacular Cheesy Witch’s Broomsticks” bring the spirit of the season to your table. They’re easy, fun to make, and bursting with comforting flavors that’ll keep everyone spellbound.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- Pinch of garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- (Optional) Crumbled bacon bits or chopped herbs for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Start by rolling out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to ensure it doesn’t stick. Cut the dough lengthwise into thin, broomstick-like strips, then brush them all lightly with melted butter.
In a small bowl, mix the cheese, dried Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Evenly sprinkle this mixture over the pastry strips, pressing gently so the cheese adheres. If you like a little extra texture or flavor, go ahead and sprinkle on some bacon bits or fresh herbs.
Next, gently twist each strip several times from end to end to create a fun, broomstick-like shape. Place the twisted strips on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they’re spaced out so they can puff up without sticking together. Bake for about 12–15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving—though don’t be surprised if they disappear fast!
When it comes to these Witch’s Broomstick Cheese Snacks, the payoff is in their simplicity and versatility. Anyone hosting a Halloween party, a fall gathering, or a relaxed autumn movie night will love how these crunchy, cheesy twists disappear in a flash. They can easily be made vegetarian (just skip the bacon bits) or gluten-free (by using your favorite gluten-free puff pastry). Whether you’re entertaining kids or grown-ups, these savory broomsticks bring a dash of magic to the table. Enjoy them fresh from the oven—or rewarm them gently later for cozy snacking under the autumn moon.
