Drain the cherries and collect the juice. Stir 2 tablespoons of juice and starch until smooth. Boil up the rest of the cherry juice. Stir in sugar and starch and bring to the boil again. Fold in the cherries and let them cool down
Peel the banana, cut it into 8 thick slices and immediately sprinkle with lemon juice. Put 2 marshmallows and 1 banana slice each on a skewer
Break the chocolate into pieces and melt in a hot water bath. Dip the skewers either lengthwise 1/3 into the chocolate or decorate with chocolate strips. Allow to set. Serve with cherries and decorate with mint
For a cheerful children's party: instead of the round marshmallows, stick white mice or colourful animals made of foam sugar on the skewers. If you don't want to melt extra chocolate, you can also simply drizzle ready-made chocolate sauce over the skewers
