Ingredients for Halloween Chocolate Brooms
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these spooky broomstick treats:
12 dried figs (make sure they’re whole figs, not sliced)
200g dark or milk chocolate (whichever you prefer, just make sure it’s good quality)
Halloween sprinkles or edible glitter (optional, but who doesn’t love a little sparkle?)
Pretzel sticks (these will be the broom handles)
How to Make Halloween Chocolate Brooms
This recipe is as easy as flying on a broomstick (well, almost). Here’s the step-by-step guide:
1. Prep Your Chocolate: Start by melting your chocolate. For ours, we used Cadbury Dairy Milk. You can do this using a double boiler or in the microwave. Just be sure to stir it regularly so the chocolate doesn’t burn.
2. Dip the Figs: Dip each fig halfway into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off, then place the figs on a baking tray lined with paper.
3. Add the Pretzel Stick: While the chocolate is still wet, insert a pretzel stick into the top of each fig. This will be your broom handle. Make sure it’s stable!
4. Decorate: Sprinkle the chocolate-dipped figs with Halloween-themed sprinkles or edible glitter for an extra spooky touch.
5. Let It Set: Leave the brooms to cool at room temperature until the chocolate has fully hardened. Once set, they’re ready to serve!
Tips for Making Your Brooms Extra Spooky
If you want to take these Halloween Chocolate Brooms to the next level, here are a few tips:
Use White Chocolate: If you want your brooms to look a little more ghostly, dip the figs in white chocolate instead of dark or milk chocolate.
Get Creative with Sprinkles: Use orange, black, or green sprinkles to make the broomsticks look even more Halloween-themed.
Make It Boo-tiful: Add small liquorice strips around the pretzel sticks to resemble bristles for a more authentic broom look!
