Fabulous Fruit Salad
Yes, this fruit salad is fabulous! This recipe should probably make about 4 servings (or 8 if you go by the measly serving sizes set by the USDA), but I could almost eat the whole serving bowl myself! This is so good.

But I’ve seen and tasted quite a few, and while some of them are absolutely delicious, I’ve never had one that actually tasted like real cheese sauce.

No redeeming qualities whatsoever … except maybe that it tastes awesome ; ) I really like apples dipped in caramel. But all that sugar, butter, and cream. A Healthier Alternative…
