Grinch kabobs are the Christmas snack that lets fruit steal the show. A green grape is the Grinch, a banana slice is the hat’s white trim, a strawberry is the red hat and a mini marshmallow is the pom-pom. Thread them on a toothpick and you have a plate of little Grinches in five minutes. Children eat a whole plate without noticing it is fruit.
