Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. In medium bowl, beat brown sugar, butter, water and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until blended. Stir in flour and salt. Shape dough into 20 (1-1/4”) balls.

2. Place pretzel rod halves on ungreased cookie sheets. 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 cooling racks. Cool completely.

3. Cover cookie sheet with waxed paper. Place brooms on waxed paper. In 1-qt saucepan, melt 2 teaspoons shortening and chocolate chips over low heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Remove from heat. Spoon melted chocolate over brooms, leaving about 1”at top of pretzel handle and bottom halves of cookie bristles uncovered.

4. In small microwavable bowl, microwave butterscotch chips and 1/2 teaspoon shortening uncovered on medium-high (70%) for 30 to 50 seconds, stirring after 30 seconds, until chips can be stirred smooth. Drizzle over chocolate. Let stand until chocolate is firm before storing.
