How to Make Valentine Brownie Kabobs

Prepare the brownies according to the boxed brownie mix instructions.

Bake and cool completely. Allow brownies to fully cool before cutting to prevent crumbling.

Cut brownies into squares approximately 1½–2 inches wide.

Prepare the strawberries:

• Cut a small “V” shape from the top of each strawberry – removing the stem as you do
• Slice strawberries in half vertically to reveal heart-shaped slices

Assemble the kabobs:

• Thread a brownie square onto a skewer
• Add a heart-shaped marshmallow
• Add a strawberry heart
• Repeat once if desired, using any pattern you like

Arrange and serve on a platter or Valentine-themed tray.

FAQs

Can kids help with this?
Absolutely! Adults should handle any sharp knives, but kids can help by sliding the food onto a blunt skewer or a flat popsicle stick.

Can these be made ahead of time?
Yes. Brownies can be baked a day in advance. Assemble kabobs the day of serving for the best freshness.

Do the strawberries stay heart-shaped?
Yes, when cut just before assembling. Firmer strawberries hold their shape best.
