.Enchanted Brooms.

.Ingredients.
40 gummy peach rings (from an 11-oz bag)
1 tube white decorating icing or vanilla frosting from a can
8 Chocolate Fudge Pirouette cookies (from a 14.1-oz can)
8 orange fruit rolls (1 oz each)
4 pineapple fruit rolls (1 oz each)
4 bite-size lime-flavor Tootsie Fruit Rolls or taffy
Cookie crumbs,
colored decorating sugar (optional)


.Instructions.
1. Make 8 stacks of gummy peach rings, 5 rings per stack, gluing rings together with icing or frosting. Insert a Pirouette cookie into each stack so that they stand up straight.

2. For each broom: Unroll an orange fruit roll into a flat circle, leaving it attached to backing. With a pizza wheel, cut circle in half. Peel half off backing; line straight edge with bottom of peach ring stack; wrap around stack and cookie, gently pressing fruit roll to adhere. This is the broom base to which broom strips will be attached.

3. Cut the remaining half of the orange fruit roll in narrow strips. Unroll a pineapple fruit roll; cut in half, then cut 1 half in narrow strips. Peel off backing and stick orange and pineapple strips, alternating colors, onto broom base until base is completely covered. Trim and shape strip ends to resemble broom straws. Refrigerate. Assemble remaining brooms.

4. With a rolling pin, flatten and roll out lime Tootsie Rolls until very thin. Cut out 2-in.-long x 1/4-in.-wide bands; wrap around top of broom base. Texture bands with tip of skewer.

5. To serve: Mix cookie crumbs and decorating sugar on a large platter. Using a dry pastry brush, sweep crumb mixture in decorative swirls on platter to create broom tracks. Stand brooms in tracks.
