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 candies (M&Ms work well)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Fruit: Wash and dry all the fruit thoroughly. Peel the bananas and cut into desired sizes — thin slices for Christmas Fruit Kabobs, thirds for Banana Santa Kabobs. Remove the ends off strawberries for easier assembly.
  2. Assemble Christmas Fruit Kabobs: Take a toothpick and thread a grape first, then add a banana slice, followed by a strawberry. Finish by placing a mini marshmallow on top to resemble a Santa hat.
  3. Assemble Banana Santa Kabobs: Insert a toothpick through a banana piece, then add a cut marshmallow section, followed by a strawberry, and top it off with a mini marshmallow. Use candy eyes and a small red candy on the marshmallow hat to create a Santa face.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the finished kabobs on a platter and enjoy these festive, healthy holiday treats immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe fruit for the best flavor and appearance.
  • For easier assembly, make sure fruit pieces are cut evenly to avoid kabob breakage.
  • These kabobs are best served fresh and consumed within a few hours to maintain texture and freshness.
  • Substitute candy eyes with small chocolate chips or raisins if desired.
  • Be careful with toothpicks around young children and supervise their use.
