THE MOST FUN SUMMER SNACK THERE EVER WAS…

Sandy Beach Fruit Kebabs!

First, make a shallow “ocean” with blue jello on a shallow platter.

Second, put graham crackers into the blender or food processor to make “sand.”

Then, make the fruit kebabs.

Once the jello has set, sprinkle the sand on top to create the “oceanfront.”

Finally, roll the kebabs in the “sand” to get them a little extra crunch and sweetness.

If you want to add cut umbrellas, you can stick them into a piece of fruit or a gummy. (I used an orange slice gummy in the photo.)

ENJOY!!!
