Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup chocolate syrup
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 1 cup granola (optional)
  • Wooden skewers (6-inch or 12-inch, depending on your preference)
  • Chocolate chips or sprinkles for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients on a clean countertop.
  2. Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into thick rounds, about 1-inch thick.
  3. Prepare the Strawberries: Rinse the strawberries under cold water, hull them, and slice them in half.
  4. Prepare the Pineapple: If using fresh pineapple, peel and core it, then cut it into bite-sized chunks. If using canned, drain it well.
  5. Prepare the Skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  6. Start Skewering: Thread a banana slice onto a skewer, followed by a strawberry half, a pineapple chunk, and a mini marshmallow. Repeat until the skewer is filled.
  7. Repeat the Process: Continue assembling kabobs until all ingredients are used, making about 8-10 kabobs.
  8. Garnish (Optional): Sprinkle chocolate chips or colorful sprinkles on top for a fun touch.
  9. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat.
  10. Grill the Kabobs: Grill kabobs for about 2-3 minutes on each side until fruits are caramelized and marshmallows are toasted.
  11. Remove from Grill: Carefully remove kabobs from the grill and let them cool for a minute.
  12. Prepare the Serving Station: Set up a serving station with chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and granola.
  13. Serve the Kabobs: Arrange kabobs on a platter and drizzle with chocolate syrup if desired.
  14. Add Toppings: Encourage guests to dip in whipped cream or sprinkle granola for added crunch.
  15. Store Any Leftovers: Store leftover kabobs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  16. Reheat (Optional): Reheat in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds if desired.

Notes

  • Choose ripe but firm fruits to ensure they hold their shape on the skewers.
  • Feel free to experiment with other fruits like kiwi, mango, or grapes for variety.
