storage/reheating

Assemble kabobs close to serving time for best texture. If needed, store them in a single layer in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Avoid freezing, as the fruit will lose its texture upon thawing. These kabobs do not require reheating.

FAQs

Can I use store-bought brownies?

Yes, store-bought brownies work perfectly and make the recipe even faster to assemble.

How far in advance can I make these?

You can prepare them up to a day in advance. Store covered in the refrigerator and serve chilled or let sit at room temperature briefly before serving.

Can I use other fruits?

Absolutely. Grapes, raspberries, kiwi, and melon all make great additions or substitutions.

Are these kabobs messy to eat?

Not at all. The skewers keep everything contained, making them ideal for casual settings and kids.

What kind of brownies should I use?

Fudgy brownies hold their shape best and offer a rich contrast to the fruit. Avoid overly crumbly varieties.

Can I cut the brownies smaller for mini kabobs?

Yes, you can make mini versions using smaller cubes and shorter skewers for bite-sized servings.

Are these suitable for outdoor events?

Yes, but avoid direct sun for long periods to keep the fruit and marshmallows from softening too much.

Can I serve these warm?

They are best served chilled or at room temperature. Heating may cause the marshmallows to melt and the fruit to soften.

How do I keep the strawberries from slipping off?

Make sure strawberries are hulled flat at the base and thread them securely through the center.

What type of skewers should I use?

Standard wooden skewers work well, but metal or reusable plastic skewers can also be used for a more eco-friendly option.
