Ingredients

1 pineapple

2 cup of grapes

1 bag of carrots

1 bag of string cheese

1 handful of long wheat grass (or chives)

Directions

Witch Wand

You’ll need a ripe pineapple, a metal star shaped cookie cutter, and straws.

  • Remove the crown then evenly cut the first inch off

  • For the star, use your cookie cutter’s width to determine where you will cut (It should be slightly thinner than the cookie cutter’s width)

  • For the straw (wand handle) grab a paring knife and make a cut directly through to the middle of the pineapple core

  • With a big knife, evenly cut the pineapple

  • Put your paring knife back into the pineapple to align the cookie cutter with the straw cut

  • Remove the knife and push down hard on the star cookie cutter until it goes all the way through

  • Push the straw into the cut

Witch Broom

You’ll need string cheese, carrots, and wheat grass.

  • Cut the string cheese in half

  • From the bottom, peel 1 inch lengths of cheese

  • Keep peeling…and peeling until it looks like broom bristles

  • Slice a carrot lengthwise to create a narrow broomstick

  • Cut the end of the carrot to make a sharp point

  • On the unpeeled side, poke the carrot into the cheese

  • Tie the wheat grass around the cheese into a knot

  • Cutoff any excess

And whoosh! The snacks are ready for your little witches to do some bewitching magic.
