FRESH FRUIT KABOBS WITH CHOCOLATE SAUCE

A healthful, affordable recipe that's great to make with your kids.
This is fun party food, or dessert after dinner. You can serve it soon after making it, or make it, then refrigerate.

5 minutes
Serves: 6

12 strawberries
24 melon balls (honeydew, cantaloupe)
6 ounces angel food cake, cut into 1-inch cubes
6 marshmallows
1-1/3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 Tbsp lowfat buttermilk (or lowfat milk)
6 wooden skewers


1. Have kids wash strawberries, picking off stems. With a melon baller or a small spoon, have them make melon balls. Carefully! If kids can handle a knife, have them cut cake into squares.

 2. Have kids arrange fruit and cake on wooden skewers. The pattern is up to them! Place skewered fruit sticks on a serving plate.

3. The adult melts chocolate chips and milk together over low heat.

4. Together pour sauce over fruit sticks, turning over to cover. Let cool a moment. Serve to hungry kids!
