When I first made these Super Bowl Brownie Skewers, I was amazed at how simple yet impactful they were. The combination of brownies with fruits like strawberries and bananas not only balances sweetness but also adds a pop of color. During the game, I noticed my guests went back for seconds, which is always the best compliment!

What really makes these skewers special is the homemade chocolate sauce I drizzle on top. Instead of using store-bought, I mix melted chocolate with a bit of cream, enhancing the richness and ensuring it stays smooth. This tip makes a world of difference, turning an already delicious treat into something extraordinary!

Understanding the Brownie Base

The foundation of these brownie skewers is a rich, fudgy brownie that provides not only flavor but also a sturdy base for your skewers. Using unsalted butter is essential here, as it allows you to control the salt content of the recipe. Make sure to melt the butter gently, either in a microwave or on the stovetop, until it is just melted, not boiling, to maintain the texture of the brownies. This ensures a gooey consistency that contrasts perfectly with the fresh fruit.

The combination of granulated sugar and cocoa powder is key to achieving that deep chocolate flavor. Don’t skip the eggs; they provide moisture and help bind the ingredients together. When mixing the dry and wet ingredients, be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to denser brownies. You want a smooth batter, so mix until just combined.

Skewering Techniques

When assembling your skewers, consider the order of ingredients for both aesthetic appeal and flavor balance. Start with a brownie piece at the base, followed by a strawberry for freshness, then a slice of banana for creaminess, and finish with a marshmallow for an extra touch of sweetness. This layering not only tastes good but also keeps the brownies from crumbling while you skewer them; each ingredient adds structure.

For easier handling, make sure to leave about an inch of space on each end of the skewer. If you find that the brownie pieces are too soft, chill them in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes before cutting and assembling. This will firm them up slightly, making them easier to thread onto the skewers without losing shape.

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 the Skewers

12 skewer sticks
Fresh strawberries, halved
Bananas, sliced
Marshmallows
Chocolate sauce (for drizzling)

Instructions

Directions

Prepare the Brownies

Gradually combine both mixtures, then fold in the chocolate chips. Pour into the baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool before cutting into squares.

Assemble the Skewers

Cut your brownie squares into bite-sized pieces. On each skewer, alternate threading brownie pieces, fruit, and marshmallows. Repeat until the skewer is filled, leaving some space at both ends for handling.

Drizzle with Chocolate

Melt your favorite chocolate for drizzling or use pre-made chocolate sauce. Drizzle over the assembled skewers and serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Pro Tips

Try using different fruits or adding nuts for extra crunch. You can also swap the chocolate drizzle for caramel or peanut butter for a different flavor profile.

Make-Ahead Tips

These brownie skewers can be made ahead of time, making them an ideal treat for busy game days. You can bake the brownies a day in advance and store them in an airtight container at room temperature, which will allow the flavors to deepen. Just make sure they are completely cooled before storing to avoid moisture buildup.

If you're short on time, consider pre-assembling the skewers but leave off the chocolate drizzle until you’re ready to serve. This will keep the fruit fresh and prevent the brownies from getting soggy. When ready, simply drizzle with chocolate and serve for a delightful presentation.

Storage and Variations

Once assembled, it’s best to consume the brownie skewers within 24 hours for optimal freshness. If you have leftovers, store them covered in the refrigerator for a couple of days, but be aware that the fruit may get mushy over time. A quick fix is to replace the fruit with drier options like nuts or dried fruits if you plan to keep them longer.

Feel free to experiment with variations by incorporating other fruits like blueberries or pineapple chunks. You can also swap out the traditional chocolate drizzle for a peanut butter sauce or white chocolate drizzle for a different flavor profile. The key is to maintain a balance between the sweetness of the brownie and the freshness of the fruit.
