Check out these easy little fresh fruit kabobs that are easily customizable to a theme or color, and SO delicious! Get the kids involved in more than just the eating – put them to work making these as a fun foodie craft!
Whooo boy! It’s the first week in June already which means 4th July is just around the corner. I want to share with you some sweet treats I made – they’re super easy and took about 8 minutes start to finish!
I’m a huge fan of no-bake, no-mess, no-fuss desserts – especially in summer! I’m an even bigger fan of enlisting the kids to help and calling it a craft. haha. Seriously, my boys think this is GREAT fun and although plenty of the ingredients ended up in their mouths vs on the sticks, I’m still calling it a win. I mean, it’s FOOD ON STICKS, after all!
These come together super quickly (way less than 20 minutes), and you can easily change up the flavors and colors to suit a different occasion. I just think they look SO pretty as red white and blue fruit kabobs!
Love these Patriotic Desserts? Tweet it!Just a few ingredients – blueberries, raspberries, marshmallows and wafer cookies – and look!! Instant dessert, fruit skewers are so easy that you can make ahead or make on the spot as an activity.
These fruit kabobs are a GREAT way to get your fruit in – make them this summer and watch them disappear FAST.
Don’t just think of these as good for 4th July though – get creative! Make pink and white ones/blue and white ones for a baby shower, rainbow ones for a birthday party or make them in your favorite sports team’s colors for game day.
My little guy, C – is a huge fan.

Top Tips for Fruit Kabobs
- Make these as an after dinner activity, they’re best eaten fresh!
- Use different varieties of fruit to make rainbow fruit kabobs – fresh pineapple, apple, strawberries, bananas, blackberries, green grapes, cantaloupe, honeydew, – you name it, you can put it on a stick and call it dessert.
- This is easy to multiply for bigger groups – just grab as many bamboo skewers as you’ll need and get threading!
- Make a dipping sauce if you want to be totally decadent. Melted chocolate (white, milk or dark), or marshmallow fluff blended with cream cheese is a great idea!

June 11, 2017 at 5:00 amI used to eat wafer cookies on the regular when I was a kid. I haven’t seen them in grocery stores in years! I wonder if they were the same brand? Anyway… these little skewers look just way too cute. What a perfect idea for a Fourth of July weekend take-along snack. In Canada, of course we don’t celebrate the 4th, but we do celebrate Canada Day on July 1st. I’m thinking I should make these and switch out the blueberries, since you know, there’s no blue in our flag. 🙂
