Ingredients
Fruits
- 1 pint strawberries
- 1 pint blueberries
Other Ingredients
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 24 bamboo skewers
Instructions
- Wash and dry the berries. Rinse the strawberries and blueberries thoroughly under cold water, then gently pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Prepare the strawberries. Cut the strawberries into small pieces roughly the same size as the mini marshmallows and blueberries to ensure uniform kabobs and balanced bites.
- Assemble the kabobs. Take a bamboo skewer and thread one piece of strawberry (with the seed side facing the same direction for a neat look), followed by one mini marshmallow, then one blueberry. Repeat this process for all 24 skewers.
- Store and serve. Cover the assembled kabobs with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. For best freshness and flavor, enjoy the kabobs within 24 hours of preparation.
Notes
- Ensure berries are fully dried before assembling to prevent marshmallows from getting soggy.
- Use fresh, firm berries for better texture and appearance.
- These kabobs can be customized by substituting mini marshmallows for small cubes of cheese or other favorite snacks for variation.
- Serve chilled for the best taste and to keep marshmallows firm.
- Ideal for Fourth of July celebrations or any patriotic event.
