Steps for Building Dessert Kabobs
Select Rice Krispies Treats and brownie bites for your delightful dessert creation. Slice these sweet treats into bite-sized chunks that will easily slide onto skewers.
Choose ripe, vibrant strawberries and gently remove their leafy tops. Ensure the berries are clean and ready to join the kabob party.
Create a colorful pattern by alternating treats and strawberries on wooden skewers. Begin and end with strawberries to secure the goodies in place.
Heat chocolate coating in a small saucepan, stirring until silky smooth. Transfer the molten chocolate to a plastic bag and carefully snip the corner for elegant drizzling.
Gently coat the kabobs with chocolate, allowing the sweet drizzle to cascade over each delectable piece. Let the chocolate set completely before serving these eye-catching treats.

- Chocolate Infusion: Melt chocolate candy melts in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously to achieve a smooth, glossy consistency without scorching.
