At home, we are always trying to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into our diets, especially for the kids. I have to admit that none of us eat enough veggies and fruits. So, when I prepare meals at home, I always try to sneak those veggies or fruits in or make a fun recipe that I know everyone will love.

One of our solutions is to have a day each week when we all cook or prepare a dish together as a family. For this week’s recipe I got inspired by the crunchy and delicious M&M’s® Crispy.
Our little man is a big chocolate lover so we decided to make some tropical fruit kabobs with chocolate and M&M’s® Crispy. These are not only fun to eat but super easy to make and we all had a good time preparing these together. For these kabobs we all chose our favorite fruit to include so that there was something we all liked and the kids helped with inserting the fruit into the skewers, pouring the chocolate and adding the crunchy M&M’s® Crispys.

Of course, these were a huge success, and we all devoured them. They were not only delicious but also colorful and fun, and I think they would make the perfect party food because they taste and look like they belong at some sort of celebration. On this occasion, we were celebrating spending some quality time in the kitchen together as a family.
I am already a big fan of M&M’s. I had never tried the M&M ‘s® Crispy, but I just love the crunchy texture and the fact that they have fewer calories than the regular M&M’s! For this recipe, they really added a lot of depth, flavor, and fun!
I found the M&M’s® Crispy at Walmart. To make this recipe, I got the big bag in the candy/baking aisle, but you can also grab a small bag near the checkout. You can see more great M&M’s® Crispy recipes and party ideas on the M&M’s® Crispy social hub.
