- Trim Skewers if Needed: Adjust length for serving ease.
- Handle Raspberries Gently: Rinse and dry before using.

Recipe Notes & FAQ
How far in advance can I make these?
You can assemble the skewers up to one day in advance. Store them covered in the refrigerator. Don’t dust with powdered sugar until ready to serve.
Should the marshmallows be toasted?
Toasting is optional. These skewers are meant to be served as is, but you can lightly toast the marshmallows if you want, just before serving. See how we toasted marshmallows on the stove for the s’mores skewers.
What if the marshmallows won’t stay on the skewer?
Pierce marshmallows carefully through the center to avoid tearing. If they slide, hold them in place with a small piece of fruit on either side.
