These sweet-and-salty Halloween treats are made with just three ingredients. Quick, easy, and perfect for spooky parties or simple family celebrations. Kids enjoy helping make these crunchy, chocolaty witches’ broomsticks — and they take only about 10 minutes to assemble.
Chocolate-Pretzel Witches Broomsticks
Here’s a little friendly Halloween magic! These no-fuss treats are ideal for parties, after-school snacks, or cozying up on the couch. If you want something sweet, salty, and satisfying without a lot of effort, these broomsticks are it.
The recipe uses only three ingredients: dark chocolate chips, dark chocolate mini peanut butter cups, and small pretzel sticks. Swap in white or milk chocolate if you prefer, and match the peanut butter cups to your chosen chocolate. With 10 minutes and a few simple steps, you’ll have a platter of crunchy, creamy, and addictive witches’ broomsticks ready to serve.
To assemble, melt the chocolate chips until smooth. Unwrap the mini peanut butter cups and place them upside down on a sheet pan or platter. Dip one end of each pretzel stick into the melted chocolate, then gently push it into the peanut butter cup to form the broom handle. Arrange the finished broomsticks on a serving plate and chill briefly if you like—they hold together better when slightly firm.
These are great for Halloween spreads, classroom treats, or a quick family dessert. They’re easy enough for kids to assemble with adult supervision and attractive enough to display on a dessert table.
