Witches' Brew with Broomsticks Recipe

Prep: 25 min. Cook: 10 min.

Yield: 8 Servings

25 10 35

Ingredients

8 orange candy slices
8 cinnamon sticks (5 inches)
8 pieces black shoestring licorice (10 inches)
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup red-hot candies
6 cups milk
3/4 cup instant chocolate drink mix

Directions

For broomsticks, on a lightly sugared surface, roll each orange slice into a 1/4-in.-thick triangle. With wet scissors, snip bottoms of triangles to resemble broom bristles. Wrap pointed end of each around a cinnamon stick. Coil a licorice piece around the top of each orange slice to secure to cinnamon stick; set aside.
In a large saucepan, bring water and red-hots to a boil, stirring frequently until dissolved. Whisk in milk and chocolate drink mix. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat until hot. Pour into cups or mugs. Serve with broomstick stirrers. Yield: 8 servings.
