Beautiful and tasty too!

Donna Gutierrez from Nixon, TX

We love making kabobs so when we saw this we just had to try it. We have dipped fruit before but never thought about displaying it this way. So elegant looking, everyone loved it too at the social . Thanks for sharing with us, and have a good day,

Great with fresh summer fruit!

Gwen Malinowski from Chicago, IL

I brought this along to a BBQ and it went over very well. What a great way to serve up those fresh summer strawberries!
Hit of any party!

Cheryl Thielen from BELLEVILLE, MI

I have made this recipe for Summer BBQ's, Garden Parties, Wedding Showers..... It is SO simple, yet so elegant! I always get OHHHS & AHHHs when I come walking into a party with a platter of them. I have also made them using white chocolate covered Angle food cake. Lately I do both!(what a presentation they make!) After the chocolate is set,I then drizzle the cake with the opposite flavored chocolate! I use strawberrys, fresh pineapple & cantelope. DELISH!

Great for little kids

Gail Drouillard from East Lansing, MI

What a great idea for little kids as they like to try new things, and it is a good way for them to help and they usually will eat something that they can help make.

I tried this but used for the fruit only strawberries and didn't make the sauce. They were really great. This would make a very warm day a great dessert.

Chocalate kabobs

Amanda Stricker from FORT LAUDERDALE, FL

I found the pound cake too hard to work with. What I used that worked wonderfully was the little frozen chocolate covered cheesecake bites. They are beautiful and delicious.
Excellent!

JoAnn Brass from Dolan Springs, AZ

I made this recipe last night for dinner. My husband and our dinner guests really praised my hard work. (if they only knew how easy it was to make)I will be making this one again soon.

Great Dessert

Felicia Hill from TEXAS CITY, TX

I had a party for my sons' baptism and made these for a dessert. Everyone loved them! They were fast and easy to eat. My family asked where I get the recipe and I told them about this website. I am definitely using them again!
Tiny Chocolate Cakes and Fruit Kabobs

SHERRY ALLEN from BELLEVILLE, MI

This is a super easy dessert, a definite crowd pleaser, My family loved these, great for company too...We chose not to use the sauce..But I believe it can be served with chocolate and other sauces.
The Best Kabobs yet!

Pat Pruitt from SPRINGDALE, AR

We have made these at least 5 time, each time changing the sauce. What a treat! We used fresh peaches, strawberries, bananas and made a carmel sauce. This was great. We tried blueberries(a little hard to skewer) bananas, rasberries, pineapple and necterines with chocolate sauce. We have just put our imagination to work and bingo! A new dessert from the same recipe. This is great! Cantelope is good an any of them. Watermelon works on some but not all of them. Just try what your family likes and believe me, there will be no leftovers. Fruit is good for you and makes a fabulous dessert. You are great to keep the wonderful healthy recipes coming. Thank you!

Girls' Lunch

Shannon Denison from SPANISH FORT, AL

I made this for a luncheon I hosted for several friends. What a special finish to a wonderful lunch with friends!
Yummy!

gloria raschka from CHICAGO, IL

A great fast & easy recipe to use for a quick touch of elegance! I found that using angel food cake worked just as well. It's also an easy way to get those 'persnickity' kids to eat fruit! It seems you can always get 'em with chocolate!
A new take

Cassy Hall from Casselberry, FL

This recipe is good when you use strawberries, raspberries and blueberries with caramel sauce and whipcream.

SHELLY CRAGLE from NESCOPECK, PA

these are so easy and my guests loved them. I used angel food cake cubes and pound cake cubes. I will definitely make these for company again.
Fun, Easy, and Delicious

Penny Cobb from BAILEY, NC

These were very easy to do and make a lovely presentation. My dad's comment was, "Very refreshing!" I will definitely do these for a church social or family picnic before the summer ends.
Jazzy dessert

Ruth Ann Looker from CUYAHOGA FALLS, OH

I made these for a group of friends, and they were a huge hit. They make a very pretty presentation, are very easy to assemble and taste delicious. The sauce is versatile too - what was leftover was very good on cheesecake and the leftover poundcake.
Must look good to taste good

VICKI NUTE from NEW SMYRNA BEACH, FL

Rather than laying kabobs on a plate, stick the kabobs in a fresh pineapple for a memorable presentation!
Cake kabobs

Joan Randall from CAPE CORAL, FL

These are fast,easy to prepare and appeal to everyone. I love the versatility of fruit combinations and the fact that most of the ingredients are kept on hand. They look different with different types of morsels and fun to eat!

BETTY BABCOCK from BUFFALO, NY

EASY AND TASTE GOOD TOO, BUT FOR KIDS USE SOMETHING OTHER THEN SKEWERS
Dessert On a Stick - Love It!

Angela Pitt from ORLANDO, FL

I'm glad I found this recipe and I quickly put it to work for two picnics; one at work and one barbeque at a friend's. Both times everyone got a kick out of the presentation. I did 25 kabobs for each occasion and they lasted about 5 minutes, ten tops. They all came looking for more and were disappointed when they had to settle for the other desserts. I told them all desserts are good, no big deal. You really know how to spoil people. I've never had a bad experience from anything I make from Nestle. Good job!
Awesome & easy

Suzie Bicehouse from EVANS CITY, PA

What a quick & yummy idea! This adds a bit of flare to ordinary dessert time. Easy for the kids to help with and to eat. Great for parties too, just double or triple the recipe! Loved it!
So Creative

Tara Huard from Auburn, MA

I loved this idea! They are creative and so good. Everyone - young and old, loved them.
Delicious

Melissa Scheetz from Milltown, NJ

These were great and easy. The only problem I had was the pound cake was too fresh and it crumbled in the chocolate. So I spooned the chocolate on. Make a bowl of whipped cream for an extra treat.
Great for parties !!

Linda Randles from NORTH CANTON, OH

I made some of these for the Ladies club meeting I was having. They loved them. There was more time talking about this recipe than the meeting stuff we was SUPPOSE to be talking about. Great recipe and a definite keeper.
So Easy, So good!!!

Elizabeth Chavez from ILLINOIS

I started making these 2 years ago for thanksgiving or Christmas and the family LOVES these. This is one dessert that is remembered and one that is requested on the holidays.
