Witches’ Broom Snack

Begin by cutting your cheese sticks in half.

Make the broom by cutting small slits in the bottom part of the cheese.

Take the tip of the knife and round out a small hole so that you can insert the carrot or celery.

Put the celery or carrot stick in the cheese.

And Abracadabra!  A witch broom!
