The Wizarding World Connection

For fans of the Harry Potter series, these Puff Pastry Witches’ Broomsticks will evoke the magic of the wizarding world. Whether you’re planning a Halloween party or just craving a taste of Hogwarts, these broomsticks offer an enchanting connection to the beloved tales of J.K. Rowling. Just imagine enjoying these treats at a themed gathering or while re-reading your favorite Harry Potter book. It’s like taking a bite out of the wizarding world itself.

Ingredients for Witches Broomstick

At the heart of our Puff Pastry Witches’ Broomsticks is the versatile puff pastry. This dough, when thawed, becomes a pliable canvas for your culinary artistry. Its flaky, golden layers serve as the base for your witchy broomsticks, making them not only delicious but visually captivating, just like something you might find at Hogwarts.

Chocolate plays a pivotal role in these broomsticks. Melted to velvety perfection, it creates a luscious, sweet core for each broomstick. Much like the wizarding world’s famous chocolate frogs, our Puff Pastry Witches’ Broomsticks offer a delightful burst of chocolate flavor, adding a touch of magic to your Halloween spread.

What’s a broomstick without its handle? Pretzel sticks are the enchanted handles for your Puff Pastry Witches’ Broomsticks. Their saltiness and crunch add a delightful contrast to the sweet chocolate and flaky pastry. These whimsical handles are as satisfying as a sip of butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks.

Sugar is the secret ingredient that adds an extra layer of charm to these broomsticks. Before baking, a sprinkling of extra fine sugar over the broomsticks not only enhances the taste but also creates a beautiful texture. It’s like adding a touch of fairy dust for that authentic, spellbinding appearance.

How to Make Witches Broomstick

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F, or follow the specific temperature recommended on your puff pastry packaging. Ensuring the oven is at the correct temperature is crucial for achieving the perfect texture.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until it’s completely smooth and fully melted. This luscious melted chocolate will be used to infuse your pastry with delightful sweetness.

Take the thawed puff pastry sheet and prepare it for shaping. Roll it out and then cut it into 3-inch squares. This is the foundation for your chocolate-filled pastry sticks.

Generously spread the melted chocolate on half of the pastry squares. Once you’ve coated them with the chocolatey goodness, place the remaining pastry squares on top, creating a chocolate-filled sandwich.

To add a unique twist, make mini cuts on the pastry squares, going about ¾ of the way into the square, as shown in the picture. These cuts will create a lovely pattern in your pastry.

For a delightful and crunchy surprise, place a quarter of a pretzel stick on each square, positioning it a bit away from the center. Then, carefully roll the pastry along with the pretzel stick. To ensure a beautiful presentation, separate the pastry strips slightly before baking. Alternatively, you can pre-bake some puff pastry in the shape sticks and use them as sticks. I was out of pretezel so I did the same.

Follow the baking instructions provided on your puff pastry packaging, which typically involves baking for 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on your pastry sticks, and they are ready when they turn golden brown and beautifully crisp.

Once your pastry sticks have baked to perfection, it’s time for the finishing touch. Sprinkle dusting sugar over them to add a touch of sweetness and visual appeal.

Now, your chocolate-filled puff pastry sticks are ready to be savored. Whether you’re enjoying them as a snack or serving them at a special occasion, they’re sure to be a delightful treat.

These pastry sticks combine the flakiness of puff pastry with the richness of melted chocolate and a surprising crunch from the pretzel sticks, making them an irresistible treat. Happy baking and indulging
