When I first made these brownie skewers, I was looking for a dessert that celebrated the spirit of the Super Bowl but also impressed my guests. The combination of fudgy brownies with juicy strawberries is a winner! After a few experiments, I discovered that letting the brownies cool completely before cutting them into squares helped maintain their shape for skewering.

Another tip I learned was to soak wooden skewers in water beforehand. This not only prevents them from burning on the grill, but it also makes them easier to handle. Each bite of brownie paired with fruit is a delightful explosion of flavor that always gets rave reviews!

Tips for Perfect Brownies

To achieve fudgy brownies, be careful not to overmix your batter once you add the flour and cocoa. Overmixing can lead to a cakey texture instead of the rich, dense result we're aiming for. Mix until you see no dry flour, and then stop for the best outcome.

Pay attention to your baking time. If you pull the brownies out too early, they may be gooey in the center and not set correctly. Check them after 20 minutes but be prepared to bake up to 25 minutes; they should feel firm around the edges and slightly soft in the center.

Customization Ideas

Brownie Skewers offer an incredible canvas for creativity. Consider adding colored sprinkles or chopped nuts along with the marshmallows for added texture and flavor. You can even drizzle melted chocolate or caramel sauce over the assembled skewers for an elegant touch.

If you're feeling adventurous, swap out the fruits used for skewering. Pineapple chunks or kiwi slices can add tropical flair, while raspberries provide a tart contrast to the sweetness of the brownie and marshmallow. Just make sure whatever fruit you use can hold up on a skewer!

Ingredients

Brownie Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Skewering Ingredients

Fresh strawberries, hulled
Banana slices
Marshmallows
Wooden skewers

Instructions

Prepare the Brownies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking pan. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined. Add in cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder, mixing until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Cool and Slice

Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, lift them out and slice them into small squares or rectangles for skewering.

Assemble the Skewers

Take a wooden skewer and start by adding a piece of brownie. Follow with a fresh strawberry, then a banana slice, and a marshmallow. Repeat until the skewer is filled, leaving some space at the ends for easy handling.

Serve

Arrange the skewers on a platter and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy these delightful brownie skewers during the game!

Pro Tips

For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle your skewers with chocolate sauce or a sprinkle of sea salt before serving.

Storage and Make-Ahead Tips

These brownie skewers can be made a day in advance, making them a great choice for party prep. Store the assembled skewers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and they’ll stay fresh for up to 24 hours without compromising their flavor or texture.

If you have leftover brownies, store them separately at room temperature in a sealed container for up to 3 days. You can assemble new skewers as needed, offering a fresh take on the treat without starting from scratch.

Scaling the Recipe

If you're hosting a larger gathering, consider doubling the brownie recipe. You can use a larger baking pan (such as a 9x13 inch) to accommodate the increased volume, but keep an eye on baking time since it may vary slightly.

For smaller gatherings, you can cut the brownie into fewer or larger pieces and adjust the number of skewers you create. This flexibility allows you to tailor the dessert to your crowd, ensuring you have enough for everyone without excessive leftovers.
