Strawberry and Banana Kabobs with Chocolate
These are chilled strawberry and banana kabobs with melted chocolate drizzled on top. YUM! They are super easy to assemble and chill. And will make a wonderful treat all summer long. These are so delicious- everyone will go bonkers over them.
We made these kabobs in the late morning and refrigerated them to keep them chilled, then served them in the late afternoon as a delicious, healthy treat! They made such a great impression, everyone LOVED them! The kids, too!
For our recipe, we used only fresh strawberries and bananas. Then we added powdered sugar and topped them with a drizzle of melted semi-sweet chocolate. 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!
A refreshing and delicious treat, these strawberry and banana kabobs with chocolate are perfect for everyone to enjoy at any time!
Recipe Tips for Success
- Powdered Sugar is Important: Adding powdered sugar on top will help prevent the bananas from turning brown. So be sure to shake it onto the kabobs very generously.
- When Melting Chocolate: Remember, water and chocolate do not get along. Be careful not to get any water in the chocolate; it will ruin it, and you will have to start all over again.
- Drizzle with Chocolate: Also, when drizzling the melted chocolate over the Kabobs, it’s best to set them side-by-side on the platter and use a fork to drizzle with chocolate over them.
- Allow the Chocolate To Cool: Then place a sheet of wax paper over the platter. Then, once the chocolate has cooled and set, immediately refrigerate until ready to serve!
- Fresh Up to 4 hours: Keep these kabobs chilled, and only up to 4 hours before serving, any longer and the bananas will start to turn brown.
- Freeze Them! You can freeze these kabobs and, if you prefer, you can even serve them frozen.
