BOOGERS-ON-A-STICK

Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) jar processed cheese spread (such as Cheez Whiz)
Green food coloring
25-30 pretzel sticks

Directions:

With an adult's help, melt the processed cheese spread in the microwave oven or on top of the stove, according to directions on the jar.
Allow the cheese to cool slightly in the jar. 
Using a long handled spoon, carefully stir about three drops of green food coloring into the warm cheese, using just enough to turn the cheese a delicate "snot" green. 
To form "boogers:" Dip and twist the tip of each pretzel stick into the cheese, lift out, wait twenty seconds, then dip again. 
When cheese lumps reach an appealingly boogerish size, set pretzels booger-down onto a sheet of waxed paper. 
If the cheese in the jar begins to stiffen, simply reheat it.
Allow finished boogers-on-stickes to cool at room temperature for ten minutes, or until cheese is firm. 
Gently pull boogers off waced paper and arrange on a serving platter.

Serves: 5 to 6
