Skewer Ready Staples

Fruit: Look for whole strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries that are free of soft spots or tears.

Chocolate: Melting chocolate comes in small buttons or ‘tabs’ and is specifically made for coating. In this recipe, you can use white or dark chocolate or mix them up for even more visual appeal.

Mint: Mint leaves add a colorful touch to fruit kabobs but aren’t necessary, especially if the fruit skewers are for the kids.

Creative Kabob Combos

Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle the kabobs with colorful sprinkles, toasted coconut, or chopped nuts. Yogurt is an excellent, lower-sugar, lower-calorie alternative to chocolate for dipping.

Berry Smart Tips

  • If making ahead, be sure the skewers are wrapped in plastic before refrigerating. Drizzle with chocolate before serving.
  • For the best results, use berries that are washed, rinsed, and patted dry before assembling on the skewers.
