Took these gorgeous little desserts to a Labor Day bbq and thought I'd sneak up to grab one before everyone got into the desserts...lo and behold there was ONE LEFT! I seriously couldn't believe and still wonder how they disappeared so quickly. First of all, this is a gorgeous dessert....bright red of the strawberries and the cakey donut hole with just a little chocolate drizzled on top. Second, these could not be any easier to make..no joke-about 10 minutes for a plate full. I can't wait to make these again and again....thanks!

I usually end up making about 30 of these kabobs for work functions. they never last long. One time i made about 50 of these kabobs, dropped them off at the work function and when i came back 30 minutes later, they were gone. i was so shocked! It's amazing how much adults love these snacks. I use a pretty heavy drizzle of chocolate and white chocolates.

I won't rate this exact recipe since I did it differently, but just had to share this tip. I took a Sara Lee poundcake and cut it into bite-size pieces. Then I alternated cake, strawberry halves and raspberries on the kabob. Then I drizzled with white chocolate only. So cute and so yummy! I wouldn't have thought of it unless I read your recipe though. I'm just not fond of donut holes.
