Introduction

Sweet Strawberry Brownie Kabobs combine rich, fudgy brownies with fresh strawberries and gooey marshmallows, all drizzled in melted chocolate. This fun and easy-to-make treat is perfect for parties or a delightful dessert on any occasion.

Three dessert skewers rest on a white plate with a white marbled surface underneath. Each skewer has four layers: dark brown brownie cubes at the bottom, topped by bright red halved strawberries, followed by puffy white marshmallows, and another layer of sliced strawberries. The layers are drizzled with dark chocolate sauce, which adds a glossy texture on top. The skewers are arranged neatly side by side, showing the colorful contrast between the dark brownies, red strawberries, white marshmallows, and shiny chocolate topping.

Ingredients

1 box Brownie Mix (opt for a homemade recipe if desired)
1 pint Fresh Strawberries (hulled and rinsed)
1 cup Marshmallows (substitute with bananas or angel food cake if desired)
1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (consider dark chocolate for a healthier alternative)
10 pieces Wooden Skewers (necessary for creating the kabobs)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven according to the brownie mix package instructions. Prepare the mix by combining it with water, oil, and eggs as directed. Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake for 20–25 minutes at 350°F, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting into squares.
Step 2: Rinse the fresh strawberries under cold water and hull them to remove the green tops. Pat dry to ensure no excess moisture.
Step 3: Assemble the kabobs by threading a brownie square onto a wooden skewer, followed by a strawberry, then a marshmallow. Continue layering until the skewer is mostly full, leaving some space at the bottom for holding.
Step 4: Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in short intervals of 20–30 seconds, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Step 5: Dip the top half of each kabob into the melted chocolate or drizzle the chocolate over them. Arrange the kabobs on a parchment-lined baking tray.
Step 6: Refrigerate the kabobs for 10–15 minutes, allowing the chocolate to set. Serve chilled on a platter or in decorative jars for a delightful presentation.

Tips & Variations

Use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet for a richer flavor and a healthier option.
Substitute marshmallows with banana slices or angel food cake cubes for a different texture.
For extra flair, sprinkle crushed nuts or coconut flakes over the melted chocolate before it sets.
Make mini kabobs using smaller brownie pieces and berries for bite-sized treats perfect for kids.

Storage

Store leftover kabobs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To enjoy, allow them to come to room temperature briefly or eat straight from the fridge for a refreshing treat. Avoid freezing, as the marshmallows and strawberries may become mushy.

How to Serve

Four wooden skewers are placed on a white plate over a white marbled surface, each skewer layered from bottom to top with a dark brown brownie piece that looks slightly crumbly, followed by a soft white marshmallow, then a bright red strawberry slice, another marshmallow, another strawberry slice, and finally drizzled with shiny dark chocolate sauce on top, creating a colorful and textured look. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use frozen strawberries for this recipe?

Fresh strawberries are best because they hold their shape and flavor well. Frozen strawberries tend to become watery and soft when thawed, which can make the kabobs soggy.

How do I prevent the marshmallows from melting during assembly?

Ensure the brownies have cooled completely before assembly and avoid using warm or melted chocolate directly on the marshmallows to keep them from melting. Chilling the kabobs after dipping the chocolate helps maintain their shape and texture.
