Grinch Fruit Kabobs

Grinch Kabobs

What You’ll Need:

1 mini marshmallow per kabob (for the pom-pom on his hat)
1 strawberry per kabob (top trimmed, then sliced in half longways – one half for the hat, the other for the jacket/shoulders)
1 large marshmallow per kabob (slice into thirds to make the hat rim and collar)
1 green grape per kabob (cut a small section off the top so the marshmallow sits flush under the hat)
Knotted cocktail toothpicks (for that extra Grinchy flair)

Grinchy Assembly:

Start with the Jacket:
- Slide one half of the strawberry (flat side down) onto the toothpick as the Grinch’s jacket or shoulders.
Add the Grinch’s Collar:
- Next, add a large marshmallow slice to create the collar of his “jacket.”
Pop on the Grinch’s Head:
- Slide on a green grape, flat side up, so it fits snugly against the marshmallow collar.
Give Him a Hat Rim:
- Add another slice of the large marshmallow for the hat’s rim.
Top with the Hat and Pom-Pom:
- Place the other half of the strawberry, pointy side up, as his Santa hat.
- Finish with a mini marshmallow on top for the hat’s pom-pom.
Arrange and Enjoy!
- Set these Grinch Kabobs on a platter or stack them into a holiday shape if you’re feeling extra festive. These treats are all about fun, so let your Grinchy spirit shine!

If you want to go full Grinch mode with detailed eyes and a mischievous grin, here’s Jeff’s technique!

Extra Ingredients:

Banana (for the “pupil” seeds)
Yellow frosting (for the big yellow eyes) we dyed white frosting with yellow food dye.
Melting chocolate (for the Grinch’s grin)

Steps for the Grinch Face:

Making the Eyes:
- Slice a banana sideways down the middle and, using the pointed tip of a paring knife, carefully remove a small seed from inside. This can be a little sticky, so slide the seed across the cutting board to remove any gooey bits.
- To make the eye sockets, pinch a straw to create an oval shape and press it gently into the grape where you want each eye.
- Use the paring knife to pop out the “eye” section and fill it with yellow frosting, wiping away any excess.
- Place the banana seed onto the frosting as a pupil, using the tip of the knife for precision.
Creating the Grinchy Grin:
- Press a metal measuring spoon into a piece of melting chocolate to form a crescent shape that looks like the Grinch’s sly smile.
- Carefully cut a small grin shape into the grape with a paring knife and press the chocolate “smile” into the cut for a perfect Grinch expression.
