Ingredients
Fruit
- 1 pint strawberries, hulled
- 1 cup red grapes
- 1 cup green grapes
- 1 cup cubed pineapple or melon
Extras
- Mini marshmallows (for arrow tips)
- Heart-shaped marshmallows or strawberry halves (for arrow ends)
- Wooden skewers or paper straws
Instructions
- Prepare Fruit: Wash and dry all the fruit thoroughly to ensure cleanliness and to prevent slipping on the skewers.
- Assemble Kabobs: Thread the fruit onto the skewers or paper straws in alternating colors for a visually appealing pattern.
- Add Arrow Tip: Place a mini marshmallow at one end of each skewer to represent the arrow tip.
- Finish Arrow End: Attach a heart-shaped marshmallow or a strawberry half at the opposite end to form the arrow’s end.
- Serve: Arrange the assembled kabobs neatly on a platter and serve chilled for the best taste and appearance.
Notes
- Cut fruit into similar sizes for best appearance and easier skewering.
- Use paper straws instead of wooden skewers for kid-friendly safety.
