Halloween Witch Candy

What is more halloween than witches’ broomsticks? These candy treats are super easy to make and they are perfect for a party. We love all things witch at Halloween (like Cauldron Cupcakes or Witch Hat Cookies) and these go perfectly alongside. Plus kids (and adults) absolutely love these treats – and it’s a fun party activity too!

Expert Tips

  • Make these for a party! If you need anything last minute – these brooms are super easy to get done.
  • If you peel the peanut butter cups and find that the chocolate is coming off, put them in the freezer for a few minutes.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to one week. I do not recommend freezing these.

Recipe Notes

  • If your peanut butter cups are pulling off the chocolate edges when you’re unwrapping them (meaning they’re too warm), freeze for a few minutes.
  • I used a little tube of red gel icing from the grocery store, but you can use frosting in a piping bag if you prefer.

    Thank you! The pan is a Wilton one, so I’m sure you can find it online. I think I’ve seen it at Michaels/Joanns but my husband got it for me at Sur la Table. Good luck! 🙂
