When I first made these Super Bowl Brownie Skewers, I wanted to find a creative way to serve brownies at a party. By combining my favorite brownie recipe with colorful fruits and marshmallows, I turned a classic dessert into something that fits perfectly with the festive atmosphere of the Super Bowl. Each skewer not only looks stunning but offers a combination of flavors that keeps everyone coming back for more.

The key to making these skewers stand out is using a fudgy brownie base and fresh, ripe strawberries, bananas, and fluffy marshmallows.

Creating the Perfect Brownie Base

The brownie base of these skewers is where the magic begins. Using unsalted butter, you’ll achieve a rich and moist texture that complements the chocolate flavor. Be sure to melt the butter over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent it from browning. This method not only creates a smooth batter but also ensures that the sugar incorporates evenly for a fudge-like consistency. The combination of cocoa powder and chocolate chips amplifies the chocolate experience, making each bite decadently indulgent.

Incorporating eggs into the melted butter and sugar mixture is a crucial step. Mix them in until the blend becomes glossy, which indicates that air has been properly whipped in. This will help your brownies rise to their full potential. When folding in the dry ingredients, use a gentle hand to maintain that soft brownie texture; overmixing can lead to denser ends, which can be less appealing in a skewer.

Choosing Your Fruits and Marshmallows

Selecting the right fruits for these skewers can enhance both flavor and visual appeal. Fresh strawberries and ripe bananas are ideal for their sweetness and complementary textures. If you want to switch things up, consider using peaches or pineapple for a tropical twist. Just be mindful that firmer fruits work best; softer fruits like raspberries may not hold up well on skewers. You can also experiment with dipping your fruits in a little lemon juice to enhance their vibrancy and freshness.

When it comes to marshmallows, the size can make a difference too. Mini marshmallows work well for even distribution on skewers, while regular-sized ones provide a more substantial texture. If you’re feeling adventurous, try out flavored or colored marshmallows to add a fun element to your dessert. For a lower-sugar option, consider using marshmallow alternatives made from natural sweeteners.

Instructions

Follow these steps to create your Super Bowl Brownie Skewers:

Prepare the Brownies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined. Add the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, mixing until just blended. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan and bake for 25 minutes. Let it cool completely before cutting into squares.

Assemble the Skewers

Once the brownies are cooled, cut them into bite-sized squares. Take a wooden skewer and alternate threading a brownie square, a marshmallow, and a piece of fruit. Repeat the process until the skewer is filled, leaving some space at the end for easier handling.

Serve and Enjoy

Arrange the completed skewers on a platter. These can be served as is, or you can dust them with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate sauce for extra indulgence. Enjoy your Super Bowl party!

You're now ready to impress your guests with these delightful brownie skewers!

Pro Tips

For added flavor, you can use various types of chocolate or even drizzle peanut butter over the skewers before serving.

Storage and Make-Ahead Tips

These brownie skewers are best enjoyed fresh, but you can certainly prepare the brownie base a day ahead. Once cooled, store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their moisture. If you’ve prepped the skewers and want to keep them fresh for a few hours before serving, stack them in a standing position, keeping them spaced apart so they don’t stick together. This will ensure they remain visually appealing for your guests.

If you have leftover skewers, place them in the fridge but try to consume them within two days for optimal freshness. If the brownies seem to harden, you can microwave them for 10-15 seconds to soften them back up before serving. Just be careful not to overdo it, as that can make the marshmallows too gooey.

Serving Suggestions and Variations

To elevate these skewers further, try drizzling them with a homemade chocolate sauce or a simple ganache before serving. This additional layer of chocolate will impress guests and deepen the flavor profile. You might also consider sprinkling the skewers with crushed nuts or coconut flakes for added crunch. Serving these on a decorative platter with a variety of fruits can also create a vibrant display that draws attention.

For a fun twist, try adding peanut butter or a yogurt dip on the side. Not only will this provide a new flavor dimension, but it also encourages interactive eating, which is perfect for gatherings. If you want to cater to different dietary needs, have a version of skewers using gluten-free brownies or vegan marshmallows, ensuring everyone can join in on the delicious fun.
