Answers:
cream cheese sweetened with brown sugar or marshmallow creme is an AWESOME dip for fruit! i also like banana & pb (& sometimes honey) sandwiches!. bananas are also very good drizzled in chocolate syrup!. or if you feel like cooking, you could make crepes with whipped cream or sweetened cheese filling, and fruit!. yum!Www@FoodAQ@Com
