Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box Brownie Mix (or homemade brownie batter equivalent)
- Water, oil, and eggs (as per brownie mix package instructions)
Fruit and Toppings
- 1 pint Fresh Strawberries (hulled and rinsed)
- 1 cup Marshmallows (or substitute with bananas or angel food cake)
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (dark chocolate can be used for a healthier alternative)
Assembly
- 10 pieces Wooden Skewers
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownies: Preheat your oven as per the brownie mix package instructions (typically 350°F). In a mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix with water, oil, and eggs according to the package directions. Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake for approximately 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting into squares.
- Prepare Strawberries: Rinse fresh strawberries thoroughly under cold water. Hull each berry to remove green tops and pat dry to ensure no moisture affects the assembly or chocolate coating.
- Assemble Kabobs: Starting with a wooden skewer, thread on a brownie square, followed by a strawberry, then a marshmallow. Repeat this pattern until the skewer is filled, leaving some space at the bottom for handling.
- Melt Chocolate: Place semi-sweet chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in short 20-30 second intervals, stirring well in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth, about 1–2 minutes total.
- Coat Kabobs: Dip the top half of each kabob into the melted chocolate or drizzle the chocolate over the kabobs, ensuring an even coat. Lay the kabobs on a parchment-lined baking tray to prevent sticking.
- Set Chocolate: Refrigerate the coated kabobs for 10–15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set firmly. Serve chilled on a platter or creatively presented in jars for an effortless party display.
Notes
- You can substitute marshmallows with sliced bananas or pieces of angel food cake for variation.
- Use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet for a richer and healthier chocolate option.
- Ensure brownies are completely cooled before cutting and assembling to prevent them from crumbling.
- Keep strawberries dry before assembly to help the chocolate adhere better.
- For added texture, consider sprinkling chopped nuts or shredded coconut on the chocolate before it sets.
- Wooden skewers can be soaked in water for 10-15 minutes before use to prevent burning if you want to lightly toast the kabobs.
