Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups of 1-inch cake cubes pound cake is best
  • 1 pint of raspberries
  • 1 pint of boysenberries
  • ½ cup of white mini marshmallows or 24 large marshmallows
  • ½ cup of white or milk chocolate melting wafers

Instructions
 

  • CUT slices of pound cake into 1-inch cubes.
  • WASH the raspberries and boysenberries. Pat the fruit dry.
  • SKEWER a marshmallow, then a raspberry, followed by a boysenberry and end with a pound cake cube. (See notes about the order). Use a 6-inch bamboo skewer stick or another short skewer.
  • MELT the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl on 50% power for 30 seconds. Stir until the wafers are smooth. Be patient. If you need to heat again, do it in 10-second intervals. Do not overcook.
  • DRIZZLE the chocolate over the skewers OR serve the melted chocolate as a side for dipping. The easiest way to drizzle the chocolate is in a decorating or sandwich bag with one corner snipped off. Cut the very edge of the bag corner off for thin chocolate drizzles.
  • REFRIGERATE for 5 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
  • ENJOY immediately. If you are making the dessert skewers ahead, wait to melt the chocolate until you are ready to serve dessert.

Notes

  1. If you want your dessert skewer to stand upright, the heaviest items must be at the bottom. The pound cake has a flat surface and is the best choice for the bottom. The heaviest fruit should be on top of the cake cube. If the skewers will be lying flat on the serving tray, skewer the ingredients in any order.
