When I first made these Super Bowl Brownie Skewers, I wasn’t sure if the combination of brownies and fruit would work, but I was pleasantly surprised! I decided to pair my classic brownie recipe with fresh strawberries and bananas, and it turned out to be a delightful surprise. The creamy chocolate against the juicy fruit was such a hit!

What I love about these skewers is how easy they are to assemble. I simply baked the brownies, cut them into cubes, and added the fruit onto skewers. It’s a fun treat that everyone can enjoy while cheering for their favorite team. And honestly, who can resist a brownie on a stick?

Brownie Baking Tips

Getting the texture right for these brownies is essential. Make sure to watch your baking time closely, as over-baking can lead to dry, crumbly brownies. You want to pull them out of the oven when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, which usually takes about 20-25 minutes. The edges should look slightly firm and set, while the center should remain a bit soft and gooey, giving you that desired fudgy texture.

To achieve the perfect shine on your brownies, consider utilizing the reverse creaming method. By melting the butter first and mixing it with the sugar until you get a smooth consistency, you help to incorporate air which contributes to a beautiful glossy finish. This step can take a few extra minutes but will elevate your brownies' visual appeal significantly.

Fruits for Freshness

Using fresh fruits not only adds a vibrant pop of color to your skewers but also enhances the flavor profile. Strawberries and bananas work wonderfully together, as the sweetness of the banana complements the tartness of the strawberry. For a fun variation, you could also experiment with pineapple or blueberries for a different flavor note. Just be sure to choose fruits that won't brown too quickly for an appealing presentation.

When assembling your skewers, consider different fruit to brownie ratios based on personal taste. If you love the intense chocolate flavor, feel free to stack more brownie cubes. Conversely, adding more fruit can create a refreshing balance and reduce some of the sweetness from the brownies themselves.

Serving and Storing

These brownie skewers are best served fresh, but if you need to prepare them ahead of time, you can store the brownie cubes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. Just assemble the skewers the day you're serving them to maintain the freshness of the fruit. If you want to get a head start, the brownies can be baked and frozen; just ensure they are completely cool before wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap.

For an extra touch of indulgence during serving, consider offering a variety of dipping sauces like caramel or whipped cream alongside the skewers. This not only enhances the dessert but also gives your guests the option to customize their treats according to their preferences.

Ingredients

Gather these ingredients to create your delicious brownie skewers:

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
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

For the Skewers

1 cup fresh strawberries
1 cup banana chunks
12 skewers (6-inch each)
Melted chocolate (for drizzling)

Make sure to have everything ready before you start baking!

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your brownie skewers:

Prepare the Brownies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter and mix it with sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, salt, and baking powder together, then gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined.

Bake the Brownies

Pour the brownie batter into a greased baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into cubes.

Assemble the Skewers

Thread a brownie cube onto a skewer, followed by a strawberry and a banana chunk. Repeat this process until the skewer is filled, alternating between brownies and fruits.

Decorate

Drizzle melted chocolate over the assembled skewers for an extra touch of sweetness. Let it set for a few minutes before serving.

Serve and Enjoy!

Arrange the skewers on a platter and serve them up as your guests enjoy the game. Watch them disappear in no time!

That's it! Enjoy your delicious creations!

Pro Tips

For an added flavor twist, try using flavored chocolate or adding nuts between the brownies and fruit on the skewers.

Storage Tips

To store leftover brownie skewers, place them in a single layer in an airtight container or cover them gently with plastic wrap. Ideally, consume them within one to two days for the best taste and texture, as fruits can become soggy over time. If you have extra brownie cubes, store them separately to prevent moisture transfer from the fruit.

If you wish to freeze the brownies for long-term storage, wrap individual cubes tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer bag. They can be kept frozen for up to three months. When ready to use, thaw them at room temperature before assembling your skewers.

Skill Level

This recipe is suitable for all skill levels, making it an excellent starting point for novice bakers. The brownie batter is straightforward and forgiving, and the assembly can be a fun activity for families or friends to partake in together. Plus, it offers a hands-on way to explore creativity with the assembly of the skewers by choosing different fruit and brownie arrangements.

For more experienced bakers, this recipe allows room for customization. You can easily elevate the brownies by adding ingredients such as nuts, chocolate chips, or even a hint of espresso powder to intensify the chocolate flavor, making it a versatile option for all baking enthusiasts.
