Normally you see witches riding broomsticks around on Halloween, but these ghosts seem to have commandeered some broomsticks so they can take flight!  These are great little treats to make for your family and friends because they’re fun and delicious, too.

1 (3 ft.) roll of chewy fruit snack
14 (3 inch long) pretzel sticks
2/3 Cup white baking chips
bag of miniature semisweet chocolate chips (you’ll need 42)

Cover a cookie sheet completely with wax paper.
Unroll the fruit snack and cut the long end of the snack from end to end into 1/2 inch fringe.
Cut the roll into 2 inch segments.
Wrap a piece of the fringed fruit snack around one end of each pretzel stick.
Use your fingers to press the fruit snack onto the pretzel to make it stick well.
Place the pretzel sticks onto the prepared cookie sheet leaving room for the ‘ghost’ riding the broomstick.
Melt the white baking chips according to package directions.
Measure out 1/2 teaspoon of the white melted chips and pour into a ghost shape over the middle of a pretzel stick to form a ghost riding the broomstick.
Continue until you have made all 14 ghosts.
Press 3 of the chocolate chips onto each ghost head for the eyes and a nose.
Allow the ghosts to set at in a cool spot for about an hour, or until they have hardened.

Makes 14 treats
