Let’s start with the “broomstick” bread sticks.
To make the “Broomsticks” Bread Sticks:
- 1 can refrigerator bread stick dough
Separate bread stick dough; each one will make 1 broomstick.
Cut a slit down the middle of the dough, about 3/4 of the length down.
Twist the two pieces together for the “handle”.
Cut several slits in the opposite end and fan out the dough to create the “sweeper.”
Bake as directed on package.
Serve this cheesy chili in a witches cauldron for a Halloween party, along with a basket of “broomstick” bread sticks.
