When you think summer, you think strawberries. Those beautiful red, sweet and delicious fruit, make any summer dessert just that much better. From shortcakes to pies, if there are strawberries in it, you know it will taste fantastic. So, when I saw these cute Brownie Kabobs on the Life Made Delicious site, I knew they would be the perfect hot weather dessert. The perfect end to a great BBQ, with friends or family. I mean chocolate and strawberries, could it get any better?
These were a snap to put together. Just bake the brownie and cool, then thread pieces alternating with your fruit. Drizzle with some melted chocolate and you've hit a home run. The brownies are chewy and the fruit help to lighten this dessert, while satisfying your sweet tooth. And not to mention; they're pretty cute too!
So, head over to Life Made Delicious and check out this great strawberry recipe and more great dessert ideas perfect for Canada Day!

What a cool dessert idea for summer! Adding fruit totally justifies eating brownies in my mind... yum!
Those are so cute Cindy and what a fun way to eat both brownies and fruit!
Jesse- i agree, the fruit cancels out the calories in the brownies, LOL.
These are so cute, and what a great idea!! I loved you video too. It looks like you all had fun!! I can't wait to make these as a quick snack or dessert. Thanks!
These are so much fun to make. I just made them last month for a BBQ.
This looks so delicious! I think for the festive July 4th holiday, I will make some kind of white brownie mix and use blue food dye to color it - so there will be red strawberries, white (kinda) bananas, and blue brownies - all drizzled in chocolate! The people at work are going to love this - thanks for the idea!
What a fun idea! I LOVE it!
What a lovely video! Looks like you all had a wonderful day! Thank you for sharing it, and also for sharing your brownie fruit kabobs which look so good! What a great way to get kids to eat fruit - and I know adults would love them too. Thank you for sharing this excellent post with The Weekend Roundup - I hope you will join us again this weekend!
Question: Does the chocolate dry hard our stay soft because you add butter?
It hardens a bit, but not totally stiff. Almost like a ganache.
