Storage Tips
I love making these Witch’s Broomsticks ahead of time! They’re such a hit at parties. 🎉
Keep them fresh: Wrap the broomsticks in plastic wrap or store them in an airtight container. This helps to keep them from drying out.
Refrigeration: Pop them in the fridge if you’re not serving them right away. They’ll stay good for up to two days.
Make room in your fridge because these are going to be a crowd favorite! 🧙♀️
Avoid sogginess: If you make them with pretzel sticks, keep them separated until ready to serve. Nobody likes a soggy broomstick!
Here’s a little pro tip: If you have extra shredded cheese, sprinkle a little on top just before serving to freshen them up. It’s like magic! ✨
Enjoy your delicious creations and get ready for lots of compliments on these cute and tasty treats!
