Ingredients
- Fresh strawberries – hulled and halved if large
- Fresh blueberries – washed and dried
- Mini marshmallows – soft, fluffy kind
Instructions
- Wash and prep the fruit: rinse strawberries and blueberries under cold water, pat dry, hull strawberries and halve or quarter if large.
- Arrange your workspace: lay out wooden skewers on a cutting board or plate, keep mini marshmallows and prepped fruit within easy reach.
- Start threading: slide one halved strawberry onto the skewer, skin side facing out, followed by a mini marshmallow, then a couple of blueberries. Repeat until skewer is full (5 to 6 pieces).
- Check for balance: ensure fruit and marshmallows are snug but not squished; thread marshmallows gently to avoid tearing.
- Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
Notes
Use ripe but firm fruit to avoid soggy skewers. Pat fruit dry after washing to prevent marshmallows from getting sticky. Thread marshmallows gently to avoid tearing. Use small or plastic skewers for kids’ safety. Can prep up to 2 hours ahead and refrigerate. Substitute marshmallows with cheese cubes or extra fruit for variation.
