Tools For Success
Strawberry Tool

Sharp Knife
Keep your sharp knife on hand for slicing up the Rice Krispie treats or brownies if you need them to fit.
Tips for Success
Evenly Sized
Aim for even sizes of fruit and treats that way they all look to be proportion. Similar sized desserts are key.
Fresh Berries
Reach for bright colored strawberries that are ripe. If you see any white or green trim as needed to make sure you get sweet berries instead of sour.

Desserts on Kabob
Pick and choose what you want on the kabobs. Maybe you want cookie bites, or whole marshmallows instead of rice krispies. Feel free to change up the items you place on the kabobs.
Skip Chocolate
If you are not a huge fan of chocolate consider skipping melting and drizzling with chocolate. Just leave the chocolate out of the recipe.
