My favorite holiday is July 4th. I have never enjoyed a holiday more than the 4th. The fireworks, the BBQ, and the decorations overwhelms me with joy! Burgers, hot dogs, chicken wings, & salad are a perfect July 4th meal for me! Pinterest is my favorite place is search for recipes for upcoming holidays, or even just regular lunch or dinner meals. My boyfriends mom actually pinned this adorable dessert/fruit treat that I just had to try. I picked up some marshmallows, 1 carton of strawberries, 1 carton of blueberries, & brownie mix (my favorite is Pillsbury Milk Chocolate). I had wooden skewers already at home. I baked the brownies first, let them cool, and then cut them into small squares about 1 inch I was able to get about 50 brownies out of cutting them this way. I also cut out the middle of the strawberry and cut them in half. I then was able to play around with the blueberries and arrange them however I wanted. Each skewer got 1 marshmallow, 2 strawberry halves, 2 brownies, and as many blueberries the skewer allowed (about 5-6). I then chilled them after I was done in the refrigerator to make sure the brownies were cooled enough not to break and the fruit didn’t get soggy. Let me tell you these are a must try! They were the biggest hit at my boyfriend’s house. I highly recommend them as a BBQ treat because 1. There is fruit on them 2. There are sweets on them. They are the perfect balance of healthy & sweet. Take a look at the result!
