Witches’ Brooms
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine — softened
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
10 pretzel rods (about 8 1/2 inches long) — cut crosswise in half
2 teaspoons shortening
2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup butterscotch-flavored chips
Heat oven to 350ş. Beat brown sugar, butter, water and vanilla in medium
bowl with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour
and salt. Shape dough into twenty 1 1/4-inch balls.
Place pretzel rod halves on ungreased cookie sheet. Press ball of dough
onto cut end of each pretzel rod. Press dough with fork to resemble
bristles of broom. Bake about 12 minutes or until set but not brown.
Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.
Cover cookie sheet with waxed paper. Place brooms on waxed paper. Melt
shortening and chocolate chips in 1-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring
occasionally, until smooth; remove from heat. Spoon melted chocolate over
brooms, leaving about 1 inch at top of pretzel handle and bottom halves of
cookie bristles uncovered.
Place butterscotch chips in microwavable bowl. Microwave uncovered on
Medium-High (70%) 30 to 50 seconds, stirring after 30 seconds, until chips
can be stirred smooth. Drizzle over chocolate. Let stand until chocolate
is firm.

NOTES : Cookie Tip
Don’t try to rush when melting chocolate. Chocolate burns easily
when exposed to high heat. That’s why we recommended melting it
over low heat.
