Tips & Variations
- Use fresh, firm fruit to ensure the kabobs hold together well and look vibrant.
- For extra fun, drizzle with a little honey or melted chocolate before serving.
- Substitute mini marshmallows with small cubes of cheese for a less sweet option.
Storage
Store the assembled kabobs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day. To keep fruit from browning, especially the bananas, preparing them just before serving is best. If stored, you can re-chill and serve cold, but avoid leaving marshmallows in the fridge for too long to maintain their texture.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I prepare these kabobs in advance?
You can prepare them a few hours ahead and store them refrigerated, but fresh assembly is ideal to prevent the bananas and strawberries from browning.
Can I use other fruits instead?
Absolutely! Pineapple chunks, kiwi slices, or blueberries work well and add different flavors and colors to the kabobs.
