Ingredients:

• 6 Rice Krispies Treats: You can make these at home or opt for the store-bought version.
• 12 Brownie Bites: Again, homemade or store-bought, depending on your preference.
• 24 Strawberries: Fresh and ripe for the best flavor.
• 12 Large Marshmallows: For that perfect gooey texture.
• 12 Mini Cream Puffs: Adding a touch of creamy decadence.
• 10-12 Cubes of Chocolate Candy Coating: This will be used for drizzling over your assembled skewers.

Preparation:

1. Prep the Components:

• Rice Krispies Treats: If you’re using store-bought treats, cutting them into thirds usually works well. If homemade, slice them into bite-sized pieces.
• Brownie Bites: Cut them to match the size of your other components if necessary.
• Strawberries: Wash thoroughly and remove the tops.

2. Assemble the Skewers:

• Begin by skewering a strawberry to hold the treats in place.
• Layer the Rice Krispies treats, brownie bites, marshmallows, and cream puffs in an appealing order, finishing off with another strawberry to secure everything.

3. Arrange for Serving:

• Lay out the finished skewers on parchment paper to prepare for the chocolate drizzle.

4. Melt and Drizzle the Chocolate:

• Melt the chocolate candy coating in a small pot over low heat, stirring continuously to avoid burning.
• Once fully melted, transfer the chocolate to a Ziploc bag. Snip off a corner of the bag to create a small opening.
• Drizzle the chocolate generously over the skewers, creating a beautiful, messy lattice of deliciousness.

5. Let Set:

• Allow the chocolate to cool and set, which should take only a few minutes. This step ensures that the chocolate hardens and holds the components together.
