Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
  • 3 tablespoons orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 1 medium pineapple (3 pounds), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks (3 cups)
  • 3 medium mangoes, cut lengthwise in half, pitted and cut into 1-inch chunks (3 cups)
  • 4 medium firm bananas, cut into 1-inch slices (3 cups)
  • 12 brownies (3-inch square), cut diagonally in half
  • 1 cup caramel topping

Steps

  • 1
    Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Mix butter, orange juice and brown sugar in small bowl.
  • 2
    Thread pineapple, mango and banana pieces alternately on each of twenty-four 10-inch skewers, leaving space between each piece. Brush fruit with butter mixture. Grill fruit uncovered 4 to 5 inches from medium-low heat 10 to 15 minutes, turning frequently and brushing with butter mixture, until fruit is lightly browned.
  • 3
    To serve, arrange 2 brownie triangles on each plate. Remove fruit from skewers and arrange around and over brownies. Drizzle with caramel topping.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    *If using bamboo skewers, soak in water at least 30 minutes before using to prevent burning.
  • tip 2
    Make the butter mixture, and transport it in a small container. Bring the cut-up mango and pineapple in a separate container. So the bananas don't turn brown, wait to cut them until you're ready to thread the fruit on the skewers and grill.
  • tip 3
    If you're going to serve this at home, try substituting sorbet, frozen yogurt or ice cream for the brownies.
  • tip 4
    Buy "green tip" bananas, which are ripe but still firm enough to withstand grilling. The grilling brings out the natural sweetness.
