Blue frosting
Equipment Needed
Skewers
Pairing Knife
How to Make Snake Fruit Kabobs
Place the washed strawberries on the skewer with the narrow end going on first.
Butt the next strawberry up against that strawberry so the two straight cuts are up against each other
Repeat with one or more sets of strawberries
Leave a spot for the head at the top. About 1&1/2 in.
Take a strawberry and place it on a cutting board.
Cut a V in the end for the mouth. Keep the piece that you cut out for the tongue.
Place this strawberry onto the tip of the skewer.
Place the tongue you cut out of the strawberry onto the skewer sticking out of the snake’s mouth, with the V pointing out.
Cut your mini marshmallows in half and place them on the head of the fruit snake.
Finish the fruit snake kabob off with a blue dot on the marshmallows for the eyes.
Expert Tips
Look for snake-shaped heads and sort those out to use as your snack heads. Snake’s heads come in narrow rounded shapes and others are wider diamond-shaped heads
Variation
Place your strawberries all going in one direction, with the straight end sliding onto the skewer first. Either way is fun and simple to make.
FAQs
Seedless grapes, cubed melon, blackberries, raspberries, orange slices, and strawberries are great ideas for fruit kabobs.
Make Ahead and Storage
I would not recommend making a strawberry fruit kabob too long in advance. Strawberries are one of the most perishable fruits that don’t last long, even in the refrigerator.
Make this fruit kabob the day you intend on serving it
