I love absolutely anything that has to do with the Grinch. I've watched the cartoon every holiday since I was a child and then added in the movie(s) when they came out. My entire house is essentially Whoville around the holiday and it makes me incredibly happy.
What are Grinch Santa Fruit Skewers?
Grinch Santa Fruit Skewers are a simple and easy snack to make during the holiday season. Serve these up for your kids or anyone who is a fan of the Grinch! They are made using green grapes, banana slices, strawberries and mini marshmallows, all held together with a toothpick or skewer.
Ingredients
- green grapes
- banana
- strawberries
- mini marshmallows
- toothpicks or skewers
- optional: food safe markers
Instructions
First, rinse and dry all produce.
Then slice banana and strawberries. Slice rounds of the banana to create the bottom part of the santa hat. Slice off the tops of the strawberries.
Finally, assemble the grinches. Place a grape onto the skewer, followed by the banana slice, then strawberry and finally the mini marshmallow, creating a grinch-like face wearing a santa hat.
If you are an artist, use a food-safe black marker to draw Grinch-eyes and/or face on the grapes.
Enjoy immediately.
CookaholicWife Tips
- Spritz banana slices with lemon juice to keep them from browning if you're adding these to your kids lunchbox or if serving them at a party where they'll sit out a while.
- Try to find strawberries that are in similar size to the banana slices to create a more cohesive santa hat.
- The toothpicks that have the crinkly stuff on top would make a great "pompom" on the santa hat.
