Spooky Snack Time: Halloween Cheese Brooms

October 13, 2025 Monica C Comments

Looking for a quick and easy Halloween party snack idea? These edible cheese broomsticks are a fun, gluten-free treat that comes together in minutes. All you need are a few simple ingredients—and the right knife. The Classic 4" Santoku Knife – Fluted makes precise, clean cuts through string cheese without sticking, turning an everyday snack into a magical Halloween moment.

 Ingredients:

4 sticks string cheese

12 pretzel sticks

12 small rosemary sprigs

Directions: 

Use the Classic 4" Santoku Knife – Fluted to cut each string cheese stick in half.

On each half, make thin vertical slices about three-quarters of the way up, leaving the top intact. You’ll end up with 9 thin “bristles” that fan out beautifully.

Gently insert a pretzel stick into the uncut end of the cheese to form the broomstick.

Slip a small rosemary sprig into the top of each cheese broom where the bristles start—it’s the perfect finishing touch that adds charm and a subtle herbal scent.

Why the Classic 4" Santoku Knife – Fluted Shines Here

Soft foods like cheese can cling to standard blades, creating uneven slices. The fluted grooves of this Santoku create tiny air pockets, reducing friction so cheese releases easily. Its compact 4-inch size offers excellent precision for small, detailed cuts—ideal for snack prep, garnishes, and creative food styling.

Whether you’re slicing vegetables, herbs, or cheese, this knife delivers clean, controlled performance every time.

 The Perfect Halloween Party Snack

These cheesy “brooms” are fun, festive, and easy enough for kids to help make. Pair them with fruit, crackers, or a simple veggie platter for a Halloween-themed board that’s equal parts spooky and delicious.
