Expert Tips

• Use fresh, ripe fruit. To ensure that your kabobs are as flavorful and juicy as possible, choose fresh, ripe fruit.
• Use a piping bag for the chocolate. If you want to create neat and precise lines of melted chocolate, transfer the melted chocolate to a piping bag and snip off the tip.

Variations

• Yogurt dip: Instead of melted chocolate, serve your fruit kabobs with a creamy yogurt dip. Mix together plain Greek yogurt, honey, and a splash of vanilla extract for a delicious and healthy dipping sauce.
• Angel food cake: To add some texture to the kabobs, try alternating the fruit with cubes of angel food cake. This light and fluffy cake complements the juicy fruit and adds a touch of sweetness to each bite.
• Patriotic fruit salad: Instead of assembling individual kabobs, try tossing the fruits together in a large bowl for a colorful and patriotic fruit salad. Drizzle with melted chocolate or serve with a dollop of whipped cream for a decadent dessert.

Storing & Freezing

Storing: Store the kabobs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours. The fruit may start to soften and the marshmallows may become sticky, so it's best to serve them as soon as possible.

Freezing: Place the assembled kabobs on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe container and store for up to 1 month. To thaw, place them in the refrigerator overnight.
