I still remember the first time I decided to make these Super Bowl Brownie Skewers. I was looking for a dessert that would be easy to eat, fun to make, and perfect for sharing. By cutting the brownies into bite-sized pieces and adding colorful toppings, I could create something visually exciting and delicious. The skewers not only provided a unique presentation but also allowed everyone to customize their treats with their favorite toppings.

One of the best tips I can share is to let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into squares for skewering. This helps them hold their shape and prevents any crumbling as you assemble. Plus, pairing them with fresh fruits and drizzles of chocolate sauce turns these skewers into a delightful dessert that’s perfect for any gathering, especially the Super Bowl!

Perfecting the Brownie Base

The brownie base is the star of this recipe, and getting the texture just right is crucial. When mixing the ingredients, make sure not to overmix after adding the flour and cocoa powder. This can lead to tough brownies. Mix until just combined, and you’ll achieve that rich, fudgy consistency that everyone loves. Look for a shiny surface on the top when they’re done baking; this is a good indicator that they’re ready to come out of the oven.

For an extra depth of flavor, consider adding a pinch of espresso powder to the brownie batter. This will enhance the chocolate flavor without making the brownies taste like coffee. Make sure your chocolate chips are high-quality for that gooey, melty texture that pulls the skewer together. If you prefer a sweeter treat, you can use semi-sweet chips.

Creative Skewering Techniques

As you assemble your skewers, think about the balance of flavors and textures you want to achieve. I love to alternate brownie with juicy strawberries for a fresh contrast, but you can also try other fruits like bananas or pineapple. For more crunch, use different types of nuts or even pretzels. Layering your toppings in a visually appealing way not only enhances the presentation but also gives guests a surprise with every bite.

When it comes to drizzling your sauces, a squeeze bottle or a piping bag can help control the amount of syrup you add without overwhelming the skewers. Drizzle just before serving to prevent the brownies from becoming soggy. If you want to add even more flair, consider sprinkling crushed cookies or sprinkles on top of the sauce for an extra pop of color and texture.

Ingredients

For the Brownies

1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips

For Assembly

12 wooden skewers
1 cup fresh strawberries
1 cup mini marshmallows
1 cup crushed nuts (optional)
1 cup caramel sauce (for drizzling)
1 cup chocolate sauce (for drizzling)

Make sure to prepare all of your ingredients before you start assembling the skewers for a smoother process. Enjoy!

Instructions

Make the Brownies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Beat in flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25 minutes. Allow cooling completely.

Prepare the Skewers

Once the brownies have cooled, cut them into bite-sized squares. Prepare your toppings such as fresh strawberries, mini marshmallows, and crushed nuts.

Assemble the Skewers

Take a wooden skewer and alternate threading brownie squares with fresh strawberries, marshmallows, and nuts until the skewer is filled. Repeat until all ingredients are used.

Serve

Drizzle chocolate and caramel sauce over the assembled skewers for an extra touch of sweetness. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Super Bowl Brownie Skewers!

These skewers are best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare the components ahead of time to make assembly quick and easy on game day!

Pro Tips

Experiment with different toppings such as fruit, sprinkles, or even candy pieces for variety. You can also use store-bought brownie mix for a quicker version.

Storage and Make-Ahead Tips

If you want to prepare these brownie skewers ahead of time, make the brownie base a day in advance. Store it covered at room temperature or in the fridge for a firmer texture. Once the brownies are cut and assembled, they can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for a couple of days, but be aware that the longer they sit, the browner they may get from the drizzles.

These skewers are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can keep them in the fridge and reheat them briefly in the microwave for a couple of seconds to get that gooey chocolate effect back. Just be cautious not to overheat, as the chocolate can become too hot.

Variations to Try

Feel free to customize your toppings based on the crowd you’re serving. Instead of strawberries, try using raspberries or sliced apples for a seasonal twist. If you want to add a bit of a savory crunch, bacon bits can provide an unexpected flavor contrast that pairs surprisingly well with sweet brownies.

For a touch of spice, sprinkle a little cinnamon or cayenne pepper in your chocolate sauce or brownie batter. This will add complexity to the flavor profile that’s definitely fun to try. The mix of spicy and sweet can be a showstopper at any gathering, especially during the Super Bowl!
