Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 24 green grapes
- 1 large banana
- 24 strawberries or raspberries
Other
- 24 miniature marshmallows
- Fruit juice (optional, to prevent banana browning)
Instructions
- Slice the banana: Cut the banana into 24 thin slices. To keep them from browning, place the slices in a small bowl with a little fruit juice and gently toss to coat.
- Prepare the berries: If using strawberries, remove the hull end by cutting off the leafy top. If using raspberries, no prep needed.
- Assemble the kabobs: Take a toothpick and thread one green grape first, followed by one banana slice, then one berry with the narrow end facing upwards, and finally one miniature marshmallow at the end.
- Repeat: Continue assembling all remaining ingredients in the same order to make a total of 24 kabobs.
Notes
- For best presentation, arrange kabobs on a festive platter to resemble the Grinch’s color theme with green grapes and red berries.
- The fruit juice helps prevent the banana slices from oxidizing and turning brown.
- These kabobs are easy to customize by adding different fruits or swapping marshmallows for a healthier option if desired.
