Print Recipe

These no-bake Halloween broomsticks combine salty pretzel sticks with sweet marshmallow and crunchy Rice Krispies cereal for a fun, kid-friendly treat that’s perfect for parties. Quick to make with simple pantry ingredients, they’re a happy accident turned tradition.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 package (10 ounces) regular marshmallows (about 40 large marshmallows)
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 30 to 36 pretzel sticks
  • Optional: 1/4 cup candy melts or chocolate chips
  • Optional: Green or black licorice strings

Instructions

  1. Line a large baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper. Have pretzel sticks ready.
  2. In a large saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons unsalted butter over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until fully melted (2-3 minutes).
  3. Add the entire package of marshmallows to the melted butter. Stir constantly until completely melted and smooth (5-7 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat and let cool for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Pour 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal into the pot. Fold gently with a spatula until evenly coated, being careful not to crush the cereal.
  6. Take a pretzel stick and dip one end into the marshmallow-cereal mixture. Use fingers to gently press the mixture around the end, forming a broom-like shape about 1 to 1.5 inches long. Place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pretzels and mixture (makes 30-36 broomsticks).
  7. Let broomsticks set at room temperature for about 30 minutes until firm.
  8. Optional: Melt candy melts or chocolate according to package directions. Dip the bristle end in melted chocolate or tie small pieces of licorice string around the broomstick. Let decorations set for 10 minutes.

Notes

Let the marshmallow mixture cool for 1-2 minutes before adding cereal to prevent sogginess. Lightly grease hands with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking when shaping. If mixture gets too hard, reheat gently over low heat for 30 seconds. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days; do not refrigerate. Can be frozen for up to 2 months.
