Ingredients
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
– 1 can of refrigerated crescent roll dough

Instructions
Creating Cheese and Pretzel Broomsticks can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Dough: Roll out the crescent roll dough on a clean surface. Pinch seams to create a solid sheet of dough.
3. Cut Dough Strips: Cut the dough into strips, approximately 1 inch wide. These will wrap around the cheese and pretzel.
4. Assemble Broomsticks: Take one pretzel rod and cover it with shredded cheese. Wrap a strip of dough around the cheese-covered pretzel, leaving the top part of the pretzel exposed to resemble a broomstick.
5. Egg Wash: Whisk the egg in a bowl and brush it over the wrapped dough for a golden finish.
6. Add Salt: Sprinkle coarse sea salt over the dough-wrapped pretzel for an extra crunch.
7. Bake: Place the assembled broomsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
9. Serve Warm: Serve the Cheese and Pretzel Broomsticks warm for the best experience.
