24 1 inch pieces of pineapple
12 large strawberries – rinsed, dried, and halved
2 cups chocolate chips

Directions:
(1) Make kebabs: thread two pieces of each: banana, pineapple, and strawberry onto the skewer. Repeat the process to assemble all 24 skewers. Place skewers on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
(2) In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth.
(3) Drizzle the melted chocolate over the fruit kebabs and then sprinkle the peanuts on top. Freeze until you are ready to serve.
