FAQs
Can I prepare these skewers ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble the skewers a few hours before serving and keep them refrigerated. Just be sure to cover them to prevent the fruit from drying out.
What type of brownies work best for this recipe?
Dense, fudgy brownies hold up better on skewers than cakey ones. This helps prevent them from crumbling when threaded onto the stick.

Brownie Skewers Ingredients
- 1 batch of brownies, cut into bite-sized squares (approximately 12 brownies)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved

- 12 large marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare Brownies: Bake your favorite brownie recipe or use store-bought brownies and cut them into uniform bite-sized squares, about 1 inch each.

- Chill: Place the assembled skewers in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to chill, which helps the marshmallows firm up slightly and melds the flavors.

Notes
- Use wooden or bamboo skewers for easy threading and serving.
- For a vegan version, use dairy-free brownies and marshmallows.

- These skewers can be customized with other berries or fruit like raspberries or blackberries for variety.
