Ingredients

Scale

Christmas Fruit Kabobs/Grinch Kabobs

  • 12 Strawberries
  • 12 Green grapes
  • 1 Large Banana (or 2 small)
  • 12 Mini white marshmallows
  • 12 Toothpicks

Banana Santa Kabobs

  • 2 Bananas
  • 6 Strawberries
  • 2 Regular Size Marshmallows
  • 6 Mini Marshmallows
  • 12 Candy Eyes
  • 6 Small, round red candy (M&Ms or similar)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Fruit for Christmas Fruit Kabobs: Wash and dry all the fruit thoroughly. Peel and slice the banana into thin slices. Cut the stems/ends off the strawberries.
  2. Assemble Christmas Fruit Kabobs: Using a toothpick, skewer one green grape first, followed by a banana slice, then a strawberry, and finish with a mini white marshmallow on top to mimic Santa’s hat.
  3. Prepare Bananas for Banana Santa Kabobs: Peel the bananas and cut them into thirds. Cut off the ends of the strawberries. Slice each large marshmallow into thirds.
  4. Assemble Banana Santa Kabobs: Insert a toothpick through a banana piece, ensuring room remains to add more ingredients. Next, add a marshmallow piece followed by a strawberry. Top with a mini marshmallow as the hat.
  5. Add Decorations: Attach candy eyes onto the banana piece and add a small red candy to represent Santa’s mouth to complete the face.

Notes

  • Use fresh, firm fruit to ensure the kabobs hold together well.
  • The marshmallows add a sweet contrast and help stabilize the kabob toppings.
  • These kabobs are best served immediately to prevent fruit browning, especially the bananas.
  • Feel free to substitute candies for allergy-friendly options as needed.
  • For added color, you can include other red or green fruits such as raspberries or kiwi.
