WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
- Carefully slice each Dairylea square in half. Cut ‘fringing’ three-quarters of the way up each piece of cheese to create the bristles.

Top Tip for making cheesy broomsticks
These broomsticks are best served on the day they're made. Store in the fridge.
What can I serve these cheesy broomsticks with?
These make a great speedy treat for kids, but if you want to make a whole meal with a spooky theme, why not serve them with ghost sandwiches, which are almost as simple. Just make any sandwich using white bread, then stamp them into shape using a ghost cookie cutter. Add eyes with a bit of marmite, applied with a toothpick.
What's a healthy Halloween treat to give kids?
Use a black marker to draw jack-o'-lantern faces onto a bag of satsumas. They're still a healthy snack, just with a little special spooky twist.
