Easter Peep Kabobs
by Andrea Wiggins
Easter is here! Let’s get festive with some “fruity Easter snack wands“! Grab your top choices, and discover how to build healthier snacks like these flavorful Peep Kabobs for this fun celebration.
Let’s talk about Easter treats. If you are like most parents, you are balancing egg hunts, school events, basket building, and probably a few last-minute grocery runs. Then you realize you need to bring a fun snack to the party or contribute something to brunch. And just like that, you’re deep in the internet looking at multi-layered cakes or bunny-shaped treats that require piping skills you definitely do not have.
Let’s skip all that. What if you could make something that looks festive, feels special, gets your kids involved, and takes less than fifteen minutes to put together? That is exactly why we love Peep Kabobs.
These bright and cheerful treats are made with just a few fresh fruits and marshmallow Peeps. They are colorful, fun to make, and even better to eat. My kids call them “Easter snack wands,” and honestly, they are not wrong. They feel magical.
The best part? You do not need to bake, melt, chill, or mix anything. Just grab your fruit, open a pack of Peeps, and start stacking. These are perfect for classroom parties, Easter brunches, or just a fun afternoon activity at home.
My six year old was in charge of stacking the fruit while I handled the cutting, and she loved creating her own color patterns. This is one of those snacks where kids can really take the lead. No precision required. And because it includes fruit, it balances out some of the extra sweets that tend to show up this time of year.
Easter Peep Kabobs Ingredients
Here is what you need to make them.
- Pink marshmallow Peeps
- Fresh strawberries, halved
- Kiwi slices
- Pineapple chunks
- Red grapes
- Blueberries
- Wooden kabob sticks or reusable skewers
The ingredient list is simple; you can mix and match based on what your family enjoys or what you have on hand. If you do not have kiwi, swap in melon or banana slices. The fun is in the variety and the color.
These kabobs hold up well and can be made just a few hours in advance. If you are planning to use fruit that browns quickly like banana or apple, save that step until right before serving or toss those slices in a little lemon juice to slow the browning.
If you want to add a little extra fun, serve them with a side of yogurt for dipping, or drizzle them with chocolate. But honestly, they are festive and flavorful all on their own.
Peep Kabobs A Great Easter Snack
I love that these kabobs are just as much about the experience of making them as they are about eating them. It turns snack time into an activity, gives kids some independence in the kitchen, and sneaks in fresh fruit without any complaints. Total parent win.
So if you are looking for something simple, festive, and a little bit magical this Easter, Peep Kabobs are the answer. Easy to make, fun for kids, and no baking required. That is what we call a holiday win.
