EASY sweet and delicious dessert that is perfect for the end of the summer! Strawberry and Banana Kabobs with Chocolate are so easy and fun to make, you can assemble in just a few minutes! Fun for serving at barbecues or picnics, and they make a darn good presentation!
We made these kabobs in late morning and refrigerated to keep them chilled till the afternoon. They made such a great impression, everyone LOVED them! Kids too!
We used only fresh strawberries and bananas, then we added powdered sugar, topped with a drizzle of semi-sweet melted chocolate, make these kabobs …YUM!
The secret is in the powdered sugar that is generously sprinkled over the kabobs. It helps keep the bananas from turning brown. A great tip!
