Christmas Fruit Kabobs
Ingredients
- 12 large green grapes
- 12 fresh strawberries, hulled
- 12 mini marshmallows
- 1 banana, cut into 12 slices
- 12 toothpicks or small skewers
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Rinse and dry the green grapes.
- Hull the strawberries and remove the stems.
- Slice the banana into 12 even pieces.
Assemble the Kabobs:
- Start by threading a green grape onto each toothpick or small skewer. This will be the Grinch's head.
- Next, add a banana slice on top of the grape. This slice represents the white fluff of the Santa hat.
- Then, thread a strawberry, pointed end facing up, on top of the banana slice to form the Grinch's Santa hat.
- Finish off the kabob by adding a mini marshmallow to the tip of the strawberry for the pom-pom on the Santa hat.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Arrange the Grinch fruit kabobs on a festive platter.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and appearance.
Notes
- If you need to prepare these in advance, you can dip the banana slices in lemon juice to prevent them from browning.
- Use sturdy toothpicks or small skewers to ensure the kabobs hold together well.
- Get creative and add small candy eyes to the grapes for an extra touch of character!
