for the brie coffins with muenster fangs

Step 6

Grab your wedges of brie & slice off a small section of each back corner as well as the tip of the wedge to create the coffin shape. Create fangs by using a small slice of muenster.

Step 8

for the string cheese broomsticks

Step 1

Cut the string cheese in half or in thirds then slide in a pretzel stick about one-fourth of the way in. Make several slices in the cheese to give it the broomstick look. Take your green onion & cut it into thin or thick strips & adhere to the strip using a toothpick or by tying it toward the top of the string cheese. Set aside.
