Making these brownie skewers was an adventure in flavor! I started with my go-to brownie recipe, which I’ve perfected over the years to achieve that rich, fudgy consistency we all crave. Adding fruit not only elevates the taste but also the presentation, making them visually appealing and a hit at any gathering.

During my first attempt, I learned that balancing the sweetness of the brownies with the tartness of the fruit, like strawberries and raspberries, works wonders. A light drizzle of warm chocolate on top sealed the deal, and I might have gone back for seconds (or thirds)!

Brownie Basics

The foundation of these skewers is the brownies, and getting them just right is essential for the overall success of the dessert. When melting the butter, be sure to do it over low heat to prevent it from browning. This preserves the rich flavor of the butter without introducing burnt undertones. After mixing in the sugar and eggs, aim for a smooth, glossy batter that indicates the sugars are well combined with the fats.

When incorporating the dry ingredients, mix gently until just combined; overmixing can lead to tough brownies. The key is to fold in the flour and cocoa powder lightly to maintain the fudgy texture. The addition of chocolate chips isn't just for sweetness—they also create delightful pockets of molten chocolate throughout, enhancing each bite.

Perfecting the Assembly

As you assemble the skewers, consider the visual appeal. Alternating between brownie and fruit not only looks beautiful but also creates a balance of flavors. Fresh strawberries offer brightness, while bananas and pineapple bring a tropical sweetness that complements the rich chocolate. If you’re looking for a different flavor profile, try using bite-sized pieces of kiwi or mango for a fruity twist.

To prevent the fruit from browning, you can toss the banana slices in a bit of lemon juice. This step is particularly helpful if you're preparing these skewers in advance. For best results, assemble them shortly before serving to maintain the freshness of the fruit and the fudginess of the brownies.

Chocolate Drizzle Tips

The chocolate drizzle adds a final touch that pulls the whole dessert together. When melting the chocolate chips with coconut oil, do so in intervals, stirring in between to ensure even melting without scorching. The coconut oil serves a dual purpose: it thins the chocolate slightly for drizzling and adds a subtle, pleasant flavor that complements the brownies and fruit beautifully.

For a gourmet touch, you could mix in a pinch of sea salt or a drop of peppermint extract into the melted chocolate before drizzling for added depth. If you’re feeling adventurous, try using white chocolate or colored candy melts for a fun variation that can match your party theme.

Ingredients

For the Brownies

1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips

For Assembly

Fresh strawberries, halved
Banana slices
Pineapple chunks
Wooden skewers

For Drizzle

1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

Prepare Brownies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a saucepan, melt the butter. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined. Add flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then mix until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch pan and bake for 20-25 minutes.

Cool and Cut

After baking, allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, cut into bite-sized squares.

Assemble the Skewers

Take a wooden skewer and thread a brownie square, followed by a piece of fruit, then another brownie, and continue until the skewer is filled (about 3 brownies and 2 fruit pieces per skewer).

Prepare Chocolate Drizzle

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth. Drizzle the chocolate over the skewers.

Serve

Arrange the skewers on a platter and enjoy as a delightful dessert for your Super Bowl party!

Pro Tips

For a fun twist, try using different fruits or add nuts for extra crunch. Serve these skewers with a side of whipped cream for dipping!

Make-Ahead Tips

These brownie skewers can be partially prepared in advance, making them an excellent choice for party planning. You can bake the brownies a day ahead and store them covered at room temperature. Allow them to cool completely in the pan to maintain their fudginess, then they can be cut and assembled with fruit just before serving.

If you'd like, you can also prepare the chocolate drizzle ahead of time and reheat it gently in the microwave. Just remember to give it a good stir before using, ensuring it's smooth for drizzling and doesn't harden unexpectedly.

Storage and Freezing

While these skewers are best enjoyed fresh, any leftover brownies can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days. If you're anticipating leftovers after the game, consider storing the brownies and fruit separately to keep everything fresh. The fruit can be prone to sogginess when mixed with the brownies too early.

For longer storage, you can freeze the brownie squares. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil before placing them in a freezer-safe bag. They'll last up to three months. When you're ready to enjoy them, simply thaw at room temperature and reassemble with fresh fruit.

Serving Suggestions

These skewers not only serve as fun finger food, but they can also be paired with dips for an interactive dessert experience. A simple whipped cream or even a fruit dip made from yogurt can complement the chocolate and fruit nicely. Consider setting up a small dipping station next to your skewer platter for added fun.

For a festive touch, sprinkle the finished skewers with colorful sprinkles or crushed nuts to add texture and visual appeal. This not only enhances the presentation but also invites your guests to customize their dessert experience, making it all the more enjoyable.
