i made these Strawberry Brownie Kebabs for William’s school party last spring, and I watched twenty kids eat them in about four minutes. Fudgy brownie bites, fresh strawberries, marshmallows, and drizzles of melted chocolate on wooden skewers. That’s it. I baked the brownies in a mini muffin tin, let them cool, and stuck everything together while William “helped” by eating half the marshmallows.

Oil: Canola oil or extra-virgin olive oil works beautifully. The oil keeps the brownies tender and keeps them from drying out.
Water: Helps to thin the batter enough for easy mixing.
Vanilla: Adds warmth and depth to the chocolate flavor.
strawberry: Fresh, large strawberries give a juicy contrast to the rich brownies. Look for firm berries without soft spots.
Marshmallow: The puffed marshmallows add sweetness and a fun texture between the brownies and fruit.
chocolate chips: Melt into a smooth drizzle that finishes each kebab with a shiny chocolate coating.

How to Make Strawberry Brownie Kebabs
These Strawberry Brownie Kebabs are ready faster than you think.
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spray mini muffin tins with non-stick spray.
Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, water, and vanilla until smooth and well-mixed.
Add brownie mix: Sprinkle the dry brownie mixture over the wet mixture and stir gently until completely mixed. Don’t overmix or the brownies will become tough.
Fill and Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the mini muffin cups. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. Let the brownies cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Strawberry Preparation: Clean, dry and cut off the tops of the strawberries if necessary to create a uniform shape that will sit well on the skewer.
Assemble the kebabs: Layer strawberries, brownies and marshmallows onto wooden skewers in this order: berry, brownie, marshmallow, brownie, berry per stick. Place them on a wax paper-lined cookie sheet.
Melt the chocolate: In a glass bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave for about two minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until completely melted and smooth. Pour the melted chocolate into a large plastic bag and cut off a small end of the corner.
Drizzle and coolness: Sprinkle chocolate in a zigzag pattern over the assembled kebabs. Place the tray in the refrigerator to set for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Substitutions and Variations
You can swap out some of the ingredients to suit what you have on hand or your family’s preferences.
Brownies: Use homemade brownies, blondies or even chocolate cake mix if that’s what you have. Gluten-free brownie mix also works great.
strawberry: Try raspberries, blackberries or fresh pineapple chunks for tropical flavor.
Marshmallow: Mini marshmallows work the same way. You can also use flavored marshmallows for fun.
Chocolate Drizzle: White chocolate, dark chocolate, or even peanut butter chips melt beautifully for drizzling.
Add-ins: Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle sea salt, crushed nuts or colored sprinkles on it.

Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Chocolate drops can get a little soft at room temperature, so the fridge keeps everything firm. If you’re making them for a party, assemble and sprinkle them a day ahead, then refrigerate them until it’s time to serve. These are best enjoyed within 48 hours for peak freshness.
Expert Tips
Cool completely: Make sure the brownie bites are completely cool before assembling. Hot brownies will slip off the skewers and make a mess.
Uniform Size: Cut the strawberries into roughly the same size as the brownie bites so everything sticks together evenly.
Do not overfill: Leave a little space at the top and bottom of each skewer so they are easy to hold.
Thin Chocolate: If your melted chocolate is too thick, add a teaspoon of coconut oil to thin it out for easier dripping.
Cool before serving: Letting them set in the fridge for at least 15 minutes helps the chocolate harden and makes them less messy to eat.
