Tips for Success

Evenly Sized

Aim for even sizes of fruit and treats that way they all look to be proportion. Similar sized desserts are key.

Fresh Berries

Reach for bright colored strawberries that are ripe. If you see any white or green trim as needed to make sure you get sweet berries instead of sour.

Homemade Desserts

Instead of buying store bought desserts make homemade donut holes, marshmallow treats and bite size brownies. You are welcome to make or use what you want.

Fruit

Consider using other fruits to place on the kabobs. From blueberries, blackberries, and even raspberries would be delicious.

Desserts on Kabob

Pick and choose what you want on the kabobs. Maybe you want cookie bites, or whole marshmallows instead of rice krispies. Feel free to change up the items you place on the kabobs.

Skip Chocolate

If you are not a huge fan of chocolate consider skipping melting and drizzling with chocolate. Just leave the chocolate out of the recipe.
