Bonfire night is fast approaching so I'll be sharing a few fun bonfire and fireworks themed recipes this week, starting with these easy fruit rockets which are perfect for firework party food, popping into lunch boxes or even just a fun and healthy firework themed snack idea to make with the kids!
Be sure to check out my recipe video so you can see just how easy these are to make, and look out for more fun firework recipe ideas in the video too!
These fun fruit fireworks are perfect for serving up to help celebrate other occasions too, like New Year's Eve or the Fourth of July if you are in that part of the world!
I used foil cocktail sticks to give these rockets some extra sparkle, but you could use any type of skewers - it's also a good idea to cut off sharp ends if you're serving these up for younger children.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Grapes can be a choking hazard and should be sliced length ways before serving to younger children – this recipe should not be served to children aged 5 and under.
Feel free to swap fruits in and out to suit your tastes too - raspberries, blackberries, melon and mango chunks would all work well too, to name just a few!
Easy Fruit Rockets
Ingredients: (makes 5 rockets)
- 5 strawberries
- 10 large green grapes
- 15 blueberries
- 5 foil cocktail sticks
Method:
Wash and dry the fruit, then hull the strawberries by chopping the tops off them.
Thread the blueberries and grapes onto the skewers, alternating between them.
Top each skewer with a strawberry to make a point at the top of the rocket.
Serve and enjoy!
