A Sweet and Spooky Snack You’ll Love

These witch’s broomsticks are our go-to when the Halloween rush hits. No baking. No fancy tools. Just peanut butter and pretzels with a playful twist. They’re perfect for tiny hands, party trays, or a last-minute snack surprise

I love pairing them with something heartier like this spooky Halloween sliders idea when I’m setting up the full snack table

My Halloween Party Prep Secret

It started one October afternoon when I was scrambling to prep for a class party. I had half a bag of mini Reese’s and a jar of pretzel sticks. I stuck one into the other and stared for a second. It looked like a little broom. A spooky snack was born

Now we make them every year. Sometimes the kids help. Sometimes I sneak a few before they’re on the tray

Why I Keep Coming Back to This One

I love these because they’re so simple, but they always make people smile. That salty crunch paired with peanut butter creaminess is unbeatable. And they look adorable on a Halloween snack board

If you’re doing a full spread, serve them alongside this easy Halloween dinners for kids for a fun mix of savory and sweet

Plus, you can make a dozen in five minutes flat. No oven. No mess. Just bite-sized fun

Just Two Ingredients, Pure Fun

You only need mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and small pretzel sticks. That’s it

The flavor is pure comfort. A creamy-salty combo that hits the spot. And they’re just spooky enough to be fun without freaking out little ones

Trick-Free Assembly

Unwrap the minis. Lay them upside down. Press a pretzel stick gently into the center
