FAQs

What size skewers are best?

6‑ to 8‑inch wooden skewers are ideal—long enough to hold fruit and easy to handle.

Can I prepare skewers ahead of time?

Yes—assemble fruit on skewers up to a day ahead; add peanut butter and toppings just before serving.

Brush banana slices lightly with lemon juice before skewering to help reduce oxidation.

Are there nut-free alternatives?

How do I make them less messy?

Drizzle the peanut butter directly into a pouch for more control and let it set before serving.

What if I don’t have skewers?

Use small forks, toothpicks, or serve fruit and peanut butter deconstructed in bowls.

Absolutely—they’re colorful, easy to grab, and can be made in large batches.

Can kids help make them?
