Grinch Fruit Kabobs
These adorable Grinch Fruit Kabobs could also be referred to as Santa Fruit Kabobs, because the top layer looks like Santa’s Hat.
Grinch Kabobs are a fun and easy to make fruit appetizer for any occasion.
They would make a great snack idea for kids at a holiday party, and would encourage them to eat some fresh fruits instead of just cake and candy.
I’ve included links to some of the items used to assemble these Fruit Kabobs, so you can refer to them for reference when planning to make these.
The quantity of each ingredient you need will depend on how many kabobs you need to make.
Ingredients:
Green Grapes
Strawberries, leafy tops removed
Bananas, sliced and dipped in lemon or lime juice
Additional Materials Needed:
Toothpicks, skewers or lollipop sticks
Directions to assemble kabobs:
1. Pierce a green grape with the skewer and slide through. On top of the grape, layer a sliced banana – followed by a strawberry (point facing up) and top with a mini marshmallow.
2. Follow this process until all fruit is used, or desired amount is prepared.
Note: To keep banana slices from turning brown, place them in a bowl of lemon or lime juice (acidity) before assembling the kabobs. This will help them keep their bright color if you’re making the kabobs in advance.
