Brownie {& Fruit} Kebabs
These brownie and fruit kebabs are a great change-up to the typical 4th of July dessert fare. They are also really fun to eat!
Because I love these kebabs and devour these by the kebab-ful and eat these babies because they are delicious and nutritious, I decided that I definitely needed to get a sweet kebab down my gullet immediately.
I mean, really, after all the savory kebabs available to make out there, don’t you feel a little sorry for the poor, neglected dessert kebab?
Enter the brownie kebab! Perfect for the upcoming 4th of July holiday and any other time you get the hankering to stick brownies and fruit on a skewer, drizzle with hot fudge sauce and eat yourself sick.
The concept is simple and can be tailored a myriad of ways:
1) start with a pan of baked and cooled brownies (preferably thrown in the refrigerator to chill and firm up to glorious decadent proportions),
2) choose a few other kebab-worthy items, such as fruit (strawberries and blueberries in this case), marshmallows, etc – the sky is the limit here,
3) thread the brownies and fruit onto the skewers, drizzle with chocolate sauce if desired (why not??) and eat.
Brownies are heavenly in any form, if you ask me, but as kebabs? They’ve never tasted better. Trust me. (And they are a heck of a lot more fun to eat this way, too.)

Hello! I’m doing a roundup of easy patriotic recipes to be published in July by the North Phoenix Mom’s Blog. Can I have your permission to use your Brownie Fruit Kabob recipe? We would link to your website and give you full credit.
I look forward to hearing from you!
This was an awesome recipe idea to make for a “last-minute” notice that we “had plans for July 4th!” My husband tells me on that evening before that he had accepted an invitation to join another family for a July 4th outing, but he didn’t know anything about the eating plans! WHAT!? Now, we are empty nesters, and my days of “fun side dishes” are long gone! In fact. My days of thinking quickly in my feet are long gone. – I need time to plan! Nevertheless, I certainly didn’t want to arrive empty-handed! I wanted to make something easy and “fun” because this other family did have young childrn, but I didn’t want to make a dish that would duplicate something already in the “menu.” I found this cute recipe online and remembered that I actually had a package of Bamboo Skewers. Super! I didn’t have time to bake, but my husband could easily find ready-made brownies in the bakery section at the store along with the berries and the LARGE Marshmallows! They turned out as cute as the picture and were a welcome treat for the picnic spread that the young family had planned for the day!
this was great. we did for a potluck at church and made a few kebabs for serving and then did a build your own kebab set up. It was a huge hit with the kiddos.
Used your Easiest Brownies in the World recipe (because we loved that recipe before the gluten free life) with Krusteaz (however you spell it) gluten free flour mix and it was superb. Best gluten free brownies we have made. I will type up a short report on that recipe, too, Mel. Thanks for all the hard work you put into testing recipes and posting them. I am grateful for your passion for good {GOOD!} food.
Thanks for the report, Vanessa! Love the gluten-free version…
These look adorable. I think I will use those star marshmallows and make them for our 4th of July bbq!!! Thanks for the fantastic idea!

I just figured out what to make for that July4th picnic we are going to! How fun and I get to sneak in a little fruit with brownies! So adorable!
I just saw kabobs somewhere with donut holes on them with strawberries and blackberries! Brownies are such a great idea!
So, so cute Mel! Great idea for the summer
So cute! These need to appear asap!
Yummy yummy! I love your holiday stuff! Thanks Mel!
Brownies are one of my favorite desserts!
I make these! They are so good 🙂 And kids love them!
This is such a great idea! Love it! And you’re right, brownies are heavenly in any form!
Wow! I just saw these in the Target grocery ad and thought “How cute! I need to make these.” Small world. 🙂
These are beautiful and look yummy! Am definitely going to make them for the 4th! Thanks!!!!
What a great idea! I absolutely adore your recipe for brownies, though they are so delicious and rich that I know I should not make them very often, since I am trying to lose baby weight gain, instead of continue to look pregnant. 🙂 Plus, my daughter adores any fresh fruit and marshmallows.
