– 1 cup white chocolate chips
– Red and blue sprinkles
**Instructions:**
1. Begin by washing the strawberries and blueberries thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
2. Using the bamboo skewers, thread the strawberries, blueberries, and mini marshmallows onto each skewer in an alternating pattern. Leave space at the end of the skewer for easy handling.
3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals until smooth, stirring in between each interval.
4. Dip each skewer halfway into the melted white chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
5. Quickly sprinkle the red and blue sprinkles over the chocolate before it hardens, adding a patriotic touch to your skewers.
6. Place the skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to let the chocolate set completely.
7. Once the chocolate has hardened, your Red, White, and Blue Sparkler Skewers are ready to serve!
