Variations
Use different fruits like banana slices, blueberries, or pineapple chunks for variety.
Swap the brownie with chocolate cake or blondies for a twist.
Add a layer of whipped cream or cream cheese frosting between pieces for extra indulgence.
For a holiday version, incorporate seasonal fruits or colored sprinkles.
Use white chocolate or caramel drizzle instead of dark chocolate.
Storage/Reheating
Store the assembled kabobs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Avoid freezing as the texture of strawberries and brownies can be affected. If you’ve drizzled chocolate, allow it to set before storing to prevent smudging. Do not reheat; these are best enjoyed chilled or at room temperature.
