I have also included some information about Valentine’s Day, some of which may surprise you.
These cute Brownie Fruit Kabobs are simple to assemble and are perfect anytime, but especially so for date nights and Valentine’s Day. Miniature brownies, fresh strawberries, and marshmallows skewered together and served with a little chocolate and/or dulce de leche – yum!
