It’s Sunday again, folks! And that means dessert day at The Frugal Flambe.

I asked my husband what he wanted for dessert this weekend, and he responded with, “something healthy”.

Really…

For a few moments, I just sat and looked at him, my brain rustling through my mental-recipe-box, and came up empty-handed.

“Something like… chocolate dipped strawberries,” the hubbster finally offered.

While it’s not entirely healthy, it sounded delicious. But my mind didn’t stop there. I remembered a friend of mine who once had a bouquet of chocolate covered fruit delivered to her desk at work for her birthday, and I was inspired.

“How about an assortment of chocolate covered fruit?” I asked.

“YUMMMMY!”- both the husband and I looked over at our almost three year old, who has obviously begun listening in on our conversations without our knowledge.

And it was decided- chocolate covered fruit! Here’s how we did it:

Heat chocolate chips in a double boiler. Don’t have one? Put chocolate chips in a metal bowl over a pot of boiling water. Stir constantly until chocolate is smooth. Dip fruit in the chocolate and place on wax paper. Realize you have too much chocolate and too little fruit, grab a sleeve of crackers and dip them, too. Add them to the wax paper. Allow to cool until chocolate is firm. EAT!

Do you have any simple dessert recipes? We’d love to hear them- share in the comments.
