Looking for a healthy Halloween treat idea? I have one for you today! Pretzel broom sticks are made to look just like a witch’s broom and can be given out in place of sweets and everybody loves them because they are festive and you get a pencil! Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about the candy and treats that come around this time of year, but every once in awhile, it’s fun to make something that isn’t sugar coated. For some reason kids love a new pencil (remember that as a kid?).

Did you see this video on our Facebook fan page? It was pretty popular! Watch how easy they are to make:

Supplies needed:

• Small goodie bags
• Scissors
• Pretzel sticks
• Halloween pencils (like these)
• Purple ribbon

Halloween is one of the most fun times of the year for kids. But, the days become sugar filled quickly. That’s why we decided to make something that was still fun and festive, yet, without all of the sugar. Oh and don’t worry, these pencils don’t contain led. I know there were some concerns around that, but have no fear because pencils are made with graphite and totally safe.
