When I first tried making brownie skewers, I was amazed at how quickly they became a favorite at parties. The combination of gooey brownies with fresh fruit is simply irresistible! I decided to pair them with strawberries and marshmallows for a fun, vibrant dessert that contrasts beautifully against the rich chocolate.

To avoid the brownies sticking to the skewers, I let them cool completely before cutting them into cubes. This ensures that each bite remains intact and makes for a perfect handheld treat while enjoying the game. Trust me; your guests will be asking for the recipe!

Understanding the Ingredients

The base of these Super Bowl brownie skewers is a classic brownie batter, which relies heavily on the quality of the chocolate and cocoa powder used. For a more intense chocolate flavor, opt for high-quality cocoa powder, such as Dutch-processed, as it provides a richer taste and darker color. The cocoa also interacts with the sugar to create that wonderful shiny crust on top of the brownies. Make sure to measure your flour accurately; excess flour can lead to dry brownies.

Butter is another key ingredient that contributes to the fudgy texture of the brownies. If you’re looking for a dairy-free option, consider using coconut oil instead. Just melt it and let it cool slightly before mixing it with the sugar and eggs. This substitution can sometimes lend a subtle hint of coconut flavor, which pairs nicely with the strawberries and marshmallows.

Mastering the Assembly

When it comes to threading the skewers, presentation matters! Use skewers that are around 8-10 inches long; this will give you enough space for multiple layers without overcrowding. Start with a brownie cube, ensuring it’s cut into even cubes (about 1 to 1.5 inches) to maintain uniformity. This not only looks appealing but ensures that each skewer has an equal balance of flavors like fruity strawberries and sweet marshmallows.

After threading each item onto the skewer, don’t overpack them. Leaving a little space between each element allows for better flavor mixing when biting into the skewer. Plus, it makes for easier handling when everyone is enjoying game day snacks. Try to alternate the order—brownie, strawberry, marshmallow, and repeat—to create a stunning visual and flavorful contrast on each skewer.

Ingredients

Gather these ingredients to get started:

For the Brownies

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
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 (about 10)
Mini marshmallows (1 bag)
Wooden skewers

Make sure to use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture.

Instructions

Follow these steps for assembling your Super Bowl brownie skewers:

Prepare the Brownies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt the butter in a saucepan, then mix in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Fold in the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and chocolate chips until well combined. Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake for 25 minutes. Allow to cool completely before cutting into cubes.

Assemble the Skewers

Once the brownies have cooled, take your wooden skewers and thread a brownie cube, followed by a strawberry, and then a marshmallow. Repeat the process until the skewer is filled, leaving space at the ends for easy handling. Arrange the skewers on a platter for serving.

Serve the skewers with a side of chocolate sauce for dipping, if desired.

Pro Tips

For extra flair, drizzle melted chocolate over the assembled skewers before serving. You can also substitute other fruits like bananas or pineapple for variety.

Make-Ahead Tips

If you want to get a head start on your game day prep, you can make the brownies a day or two in advance. Once they’ve cooled, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. This allows the flavors to meld and enhances the brownie’s fudgy texture. Just make sure they’re completely cooled to avoid condensation, which could make them soggy.

As for the assembled skewers, it's best to prepare them on the same day they're going to be served to maintain freshness. If necessary, you can prep the individual components ahead of time—wash and slice the strawberries, and measure out the marshmallows—so assembly is a breeze when you’re ready to serve.

Flavor Variations

Feel free to get creative with your skewers! While this recipe uses strawberries and marshmallows, you can also try adding bananas, pineapple chunks, or even other types of fruit such as raspberries or peaches for a unique flavor twist. For chocolate lovers, consider drizzling melted chocolate over the finished skewers for an extra layer of indulgence before serving.

Additionally, you can incorporate different flavored marshmallows, like s'mores or chocolate-flavored, which can add a fun variation in taste. This could complement the brownie and provide even more scrumptious bites as your guests enjoy them during the game.
