Truth be told, I don't like to cook. I don't like to bake either, which means a lot of cooking classes for my kids outside the home and a lot of creative snacks that avoid more advanced techniques. We've been enjoying a lot of family movie nights at our house lately and here is one of our all-time favorite easy snacks that everyone enjoys. Besides opening the freezer once, you don't even have to step foot in the kitchen.
My girls love marshmallow kebobs and so do their parents. I dare you to eat just one. Delish! You can make a few adjustments and make them a bit healthier too. Try adding a fruit bowl next to the sprinkles. Kids can add cut up bananas or strawberries to the cream. You can do a whole fruit bowl per child and add the kebob right in there. Cool Whip comes nonfat too so that's always a good option. How about some carob chips as one of the toppings or some shredded coconut? You can make a toppings buffet and invite your friends over for movie night. Your kids will love marshmallow kebobs!
Ingredients
Large marshmallows
Skewers
Assorted sprinkles
Cool Whip
Washi tape (optional)
Steps
1. Place assorted sprinkles and some Cool Whip in different bowls or cups. If you want to get fancy and decorate the skewers, this is where the washi tape comes in. it's really simple. Just cut a piece the length of the kebob and roll the stick on it starting from one long side of the tape. It will roll right up.
2. Add as many marshmallows to the skewers as you want. Just push them onto the pointy side and they'll slide right on. If you have a little one and are worried about the skewer point, cut the tip with a scissor and you can make it more blunt.
3. Let your kids dip their marshmallows into the Cool Whip and then into the different sprinkle toppings for a colorful and delicious marshmallow kebob.
4. Hop into your DIY Family Movie Seats, eat and enjoy!
Happy Family Movie Night!
