Ingredients
- 12 green grapes
- 12 mini marshmallows
- 12 strawberries
- 12 toothpicks
Instructions
- Wash all fresh fruits thoroughly under cool running water to ensure cleanliness.
- Pat dry the strawberries and grapes with clean paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Select ripe, firm strawberries with bright red color and green grapes that are plump and free from blemishes.
- Take a toothpick and first slide a green grape onto the end, positioning it as the base of the kabob.
- Next, carefully place a mini marshmallow directly above the green grape, creating the "Santa hat" white portion.
- Finish the kabob by gently pushing a red strawberry on top of the marshmallow, with the pointed end facing upward to resemble the Grinch's hat.
- Arrange the completed Grinch Kabobs on a festive serving platter, ensuring they are displayed attractively.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve to maintain freshness and keep the fruits crisp.
- For best presentation, serve chilled and consume within 2-3 hours of preparation.
Tips
- Choose high-quality, fresh fruits for the best flavor and presentation. Look for plump, bright green grapes and vibrant red strawberries.
- Pat fruits completely dry to prevent soggy kabobs and ensure a clean, crisp assembly.
- Use toothpicks with decorative ends for an extra festive touch.
- Assemble kabobs just before serving to maintain the freshest appearance.
- Keep kabobs chilled until serving to preserve fruit texture and prevent browning.
- For a fun variation, you can add a small dollop of whipped cream or cream cheese between the marshmallow and strawberry for extra sweetness.
- Make these with kids for a fun holiday cooking activity that creates memories and delicious treats!
