Ingredients Needed for Grinch Fruit Treats
Green grapes – form the Grinch’s face
Banana slices – look like the white fluff of a Santa hat
Fresh strawberries – their pointed tops make the perfect Santa hat shape
Mini marshmallows – added to the top for the pom-pom of the hat
Toothpicks or small skewers – hold everything together for easy serving. I love how these skewers give a more fancy look!
How to Make Christmas Grinch Kabobs
Rinse and dry the grapes. Hull strawberries and slice the banana into 12 even pieces.
Thread a grape onto each toothpick or skewer. Add a banana slice above the grape. Place a strawberry on next, pointed side up, to form the hat. Finish with a mini marshmallow on top as the pom-pom.
Arrange kabobs on a platter and serve immediately for best freshness.
Helpful Tips

- Use sturdy skewers so the fruit doesn’t slide around.

Make them into Grinch kabob pops by using lollipop sticks instead of skewers.
