My son's picky about fruits... He eats grapes, oranges and the occasional apple. The only way to get him to have other fruits is blending it in a smoothy... and even then, he'll only drink certain fruit combinations (strawberry, grapes, bananas and blueberries)
I had high hopes for a chocolate drizzled strawberry banana skewer, but it was rejected. :(
It was simple to make and pretty to look at.
- bamboo skewers
- strawberries (one strawberry for each skewer)
- 1-2 bananas
- chocolate chips
I washed some large strawberries and sliced them into 4-6 pieces. Left the peel on the bananas and sliced them. I peeled the banana slices as I made each skewer (alternating between strawberry slices and banana slices).
After all the fruit was arranged on the skewers, I put a handful of chocolate chips into a bowl and microwaved at 10-second intervals (stirring in between) until the chocolate started melting. Once the chocolate melted, I drizzled the chocolate with a spoon over the skewers and let them set. You can put them on wax/parchment paper, but I just turned over one of our take-out drink holder cartons, poked holes in it and stuck the skewers in the holes so that they could set without touching anything.
I just dipped extra strawberries in the extra chocolate left over and placed them on parchment paper.
After about 8-10 minutes, they were set and ready to eat.
