Our Godiva Strawberry Banana Kabobs (copycat) Recipe are a decadent treat that’ll make the chocolate lovers in your life so very happy! Chocolate covered fruit kabobs are every bit as fabulous as Godiva chocolate strawberries with the extra flavor pop of banana in there. If you are not a fan of banana’s then make only strawberry skewers or make Godiva chocolate covered strawberries and forget the skewers! I love Godiva strawberries–if there’s dark chocolate on them I’m in heaven!
Why we love Godiva Strawberry Banana Kabobs (copycat) Recipe
I LOVE, love, love dark chocolate 🙂
Plus, it’s really good for you too! All those antioxidants are the perfect excuse to indulge everyone once in awhile. If you’re not a fan of dark chocolate then milk chocolate or even white chocolate works just fine for this recipe too.
You’ll love how affordable these are to make at home which is SOoooo much cheaper than in the store and every bit as good! Win-win. I was recently at a Godiva Chocolatier in one of our local malls and enjoyed this AMAZING kabob in the photo below.
