INGREDIENTS:

  • 75 g chocolate candy melts
  • 2 tbsp colorful sprinkles

INGREDIENT NOTES:

MINI VANILLA CUPCAKES:

  • They give a soft cake portion and a mild vanilla taste in the recipe. Vanilla cupcakes work well with the chocolate and crunchy cone. You may use small sponge cakes as per your preference.

BUTTERCREAM:

  • It binds the cupcake with the cones and keeps the dessert from getting too sweet. You may use reduced-fat cream-cheese frosting as another choice.

SUGAR CONES:

  • These cones make the broomstick body and include a crispy texture. These cones provide a pleasant crunch to the dessert and make it fun. You may utilize mini waffle cones as an alternative.

PEPERO STICKS:

  • They make the broomstick handles to complete the look. These sticks are crunchy and easy to attach with the chocolate. You may use thin wafer sticks as a substitute.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. First, melt the chocolate in the bowl in 20-second intervals.
  2. Include a small amount of vegetable shortening in the chocolate to adjust the consistency.
  3. Put the small sugar cones on the board and trim them slightly to get the right shape.
  4. Dip the edges of the cone in the melted chocolate and press them to make the broom shape.
  5. Now let the chocolate harden on the baking paper and dip the end of each pepero stick in the chocolate.
  6. Insert the sticks into the narrow end of the cone and hold them to stick properly.
  7. Transfer the chocolate into the piping bag and make a small opening at the tip.
  8. Then pipe the lines on the cones to make the broom bristles look like them and keep them spaced closely.
  9. Turn the cones carefully and include more chocolate lines, then put them on the covered tray.
  10. Chill the cones for 15 minutes, then cut the sour straps into 12 narrow strips.
  11. Wrap the strips around the wider top of the broomsticks and tie a small knot.
  12. Place the mini cupcakes on the surface and include a layer of buttercream thinly.
  13. Turn the broomsticks upside down and include a pinch of colorful sprinkles in them.
  14. Press the buttercream-covered side of the cupcakes with the filled cone.
  15. Lastly, put the assembled broomsticks upright on the tray and chill them, then serve.
