I'm back! After spending a luxurious three night, all-inclusive stay at Cleveland Clinic's Main Campus, I'm happy to be back in the kitchen. These witch broomsticks were inspired from a shopping trip to Trader Joe's with my son Cole. I saw those Pumpkin Spice Batons and knew I had to make something with them. The "straw" is Trader Joe's Pumpkin Bread & Muffin Mix topped with Fancy Sprinkle's purple Easy Candy. Once the bread loaf has completely cooled, I cut it into thirds, with the bottom two thirds being the thickest. The batons are 7/16" wide, so your layer needs to be at least 1" for the batons not to break the bread. I had a broomstick cookie mold, but you could cut any shape for the straw. I mixed a small batch of marzipan with black gel food coloring for the bands and black licorice strings would work nicely as well. Cole gave these two wands up! I think they would be super yummy with a side of good quality vanilla ice cream with a nice caramel sauce.
The black metal and orange cat & witch lanterns are from Target circa 2001. The witch's shoe is from Dept. 56. The black Opalhouse Jungalow plate can be found HERE.
