This recipe is revived from our archives, and we’ve got new photos for you!

We made these kabobs in the late morning and refrigerated them 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, to 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!

A refreshing and delicious treat, these strawberry and banana kabobs with chocolate are perfect for everyone to enjoy at any time!

 EASY Strawberry and Banana Kabobs with Chocolate

• 1 package large fresh strawberries- rinsed, cut into 3 parts

• 5 small bananas – peeled, cut into 4 quarter parts

• 1/2 cup of powdered sugar

• 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

• one package of 6-inch wooden skewers

Directions:

1.  Rinse strawberries thoroughly in cold water and drain them on paper towels.
2.  Gently pat them dry.
3.  Slice strawberries in 3 parts.  Keeping the tops for decoration.
4.  Peel and slice bananas in 4 quarters, keeping them at bite-size.

5.  Pierce the top of each strawberry, the green stem goes on first.

6.  Then pierce a piece of banana.   Alternate between Strawberries and Bananas, using one entire strawberry and 2 parts of banana per skewer.

 

7.  Once all skewers are completed, lay them side by side.
8.  Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar.

9.  Melt chocolate and drizzle across and over each skewer.  Then chill. 

 

 

 

TIPS for SUCCESS…

•  The confectioner’s sugar on top will help prevent the bananas from turning brown.  So shake it on generously. 

 

• Using a double boiler – melt one cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. 

• Be careful when melting the chocolate, since chocolate and water do not love each other.   If one drop of water hits the chocolate it will ruin the entire melting process and you will have to start over.

• Once chocolate chips are melted, using a fork to drizzle melted chocolate onto skewers, swinging the fork back and forth over the kabobs will help drizzle the chocolate evenly over them.

• You can drizzle as much chocolate or as little as you prefer.  It’s up to you.

 

•  Allow the chocolate to cool.  Place a sheet of wax paper over the platter.  Immediately refrigerate until ready to serve!  

• Keep kabobs chilled up to 4 hours before serving, this will help prevent the bananas from turning brown.

 

Best of all?  One kabob is only 46 calories!
