When I first crafted these Super Bowl Brownie Skewers, I wanted something fun that would stand out on the snack table. My approach was simple: take a classic brownie, cut it into bite-sized pieces, and pair it with fresh fruit for a burst of flavor. It was a hit! The chocolate pairs perfectly with the strawberries and bananas, adding a nice color contrast and a fresh taste.

One tip I have learned is to allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting. This allows them to firm up, making it easier to skewer them without falling apart. Trust me; a little patience goes a long way in creating the ideal texture for these skewers!

Perfecting Your Brownies

When preparing the brownies, use high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor. I recommend brands like Dutch-processed cocoa to achieve a deeper color and taste. Ensure your butter is thoroughly melted to prevent any lumps in the batter, which can impact the smooth texture of your brownies. Mixing should continue until the batter is glossy, indicating that the sugar has dissolved adequately.

Baking time is critical for achieving the ideal brownie. Overbaking will yield dry squares, while underbaking can leave you with gooey brownies. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out with moist crumbs rather than wet batter. For a fudgier texture, you might prefer to reduce the baking time slightly to about 22 minutes.

Building Your Skewers

To assemble your skewers, consider the order of your ingredients to create a visually appealing treat. Start with brownie pieces as the base—these provide stability—and then add fruits like strawberries and banana slices, which add a burst of freshness. Marshmallows should be placed at the end because they are lighter and can easily shift if not secured properly.

In terms of serving, these skewers can be arranged on a platter and drizzled with chocolate sauce or caramel for an extra touch of indulgence. They can also be easily customized; for instance, try using pineapple or peaches for variation, or swap out marshmallows for cookie dough bites for an unexpected twist.

Ingredients

Gather all your ingredients before you start to ensure a smooth baking process.

For the Brownies

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

For Skewering

Fresh strawberries, hulled
Banana, sliced
Marshmallows
Wooden skewers

Make sure to let the brownies cool completely before cutting to the desired size for skewering.

Instructions

Follow these steps to make your Super Bowl Brownie Skewers.

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies.

Mix Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine cocoa powder, sugar, flour, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined and smooth.

Bake the Brownies

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.

Cool and Cut

Let the brownies cool completely in the pan, then cut into 1-inch square pieces.

Assemble Skewers

On each wooden skewer, alternate threading brownie pieces, strawberries, banana slices, and marshmallows until the skewer is filled.

These skewers can be served immediately or stored in an airtight container for later enjoyment.

Pro Tips

For an extra touch, drizzle the skewers with melted chocolate or a sprinkle of powdered sugar before serving.

Storage Tips

If you plan to make these brownie skewers ahead of time, store the brownie squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For optimal freshness, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. However, the skewers themselves are best assembled just before serving to maintain the freshness of the fruit and marshmallows.

To freeze brownie pieces, wrap them well in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to a month. When you're ready to use them, simply let them thaw at room temperature for a couple of hours and then assemble your skewers.

Variations You Can Try

Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate in your brownies! Dark chocolate adds depth, while milk chocolate offers a milder sweetness. For a unique flavor twist, you can mix in peppermint or orange extract to the brownie batter, giving your skewers a seasonal flair.

In addition to fruits, consider adding nuts or pretzel pieces to your skewers for a satisfying crunch. A drizzle of white chocolate on top of the assembled skewers can also enhance the visual appeal and flavor, inviting everybody to indulge in this delightful treat.
