4th of July Fruit Skewers
*Get more RECIPES from Raining Hot Coupons here*
These 4th of July Fruit Skewers are perfect for a Summer party or 4th of July get together! The kiddos love them because they are fun to eat and they get a little healthy fruit in a yummy treat! You could always substitue the marshmallows for bananas and take out the light blue part of the flag and just purely use blueberries to make it extra healthy. 😉
These are fun for the kid’s to help make too!
Enjoy and be safe on the 4th!
4th Of July Fruit Skewers
Ingredients
- {The amount of fruit varies depending on how big you want your flag but I will note the amount I used to make the flag in the picture}
- 24 whole Strawberries with stems cut off (you could cut the in half too and only need 12 strawberries to save a little money
- 20 Large Marshmallows
- 16 Blueberries
- 12 small marshmallows
- Blue frosting (I use Duncan Hines frosting creations and cotton candy flavoring - the kids love this)
Instructions
- Wash fruit
- Cut stems off strawberries and leave whole (you can cut in half if you have less strawberries)
- Follow the pattern in the picture and first start with a strawberry (stabbing in the center so they don't fall off)
- Then stab a marshmallow followed by another strawberry and marshmallow
- Then stab a blueberry
- Next you will want to cover the small marshmallow in the blue frosting and stab it followed with a blueberry and keep repeating the pattern.
- You can put these on a serving plate or cutting board and place in fridge until ready to eat. This keeps the frosting from melting too much!
- Enjoy!
