  Step 1

  What to use (suggestions):
  Cherry tomatoes: jumbo cinnamon jelly beans, cherry sours or red gumballs
  Green bell peppers: gummi lime slices or green apple taffy
  Pineapple: gummi lemon slices, banana taffy or candied pineapple
  Mushrooms: marshmallows dusted in cocoa powder
  Orange bell peppers: gummi orange slices or circus peanut candies
  Meat: Snickers Peanut Butter Squares, snack-size candy bars or brownie bites
  Wooden kabob skewers

  Step 2

  Unwrap candy bars.

• 

  Step 3

  Cut kabob-like shapes from all of the gummi or taffy candies.

• 

  Step 4

  With a pair of scissors, snip off the corners of the marshmallow tops to form a mushroom cap. Cut the area below the cap to form a stem. (You'll need to rinse your scissors often — cut marshmallows are gooey.) Dust marshmallow mushrooms with cocoa powder.

  Step 5

  Drill holes through all of the candy kabob pieces. (Yes, power tools are allowed in the kitchen as long as you clean them first!) Use a drill bit slightly larger than your wooden kabob skewers. Again, you will probably need to rinse off your drill bit often because the gummi and taffy items are super sticky. The marshmallow mushrooms do not drill very well. It's best to just poke a hole in the stem and push them onto the wooden skewer when you assemble the kabobs.

  Step 6

  Skewer your candy kabobs however you like, alternating colors, shapes and flavors.

• 

  Step 7

  Display on a cutting board or platter at your next BBQ and watch as people take a 2nd (or 3rd) look!
