Ingredient -- Preparation Method

------- ------------ --------------------------------

cup packed brown sugar

cup butter or margarine -- softened

tablespoons water

teaspoon vanilla

cups all-purpose flour

teaspoon salt

1/2

1/8

pretzel rods (about 8 1/2 inches long) -- cut crosswise

in half

teaspoons shortening

cup semisweet chocolate chips

cup butterscotch-flavored chips

Heat oven to 350º. 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.
