The saying goes like mother, like daughter.  In Kay’s case it’s like father, like daughter.  She has such a sweet tooth.. maybe it should be like grandma, like granddaughter.  I swear those 3 are the funniest ever.  When we went shopping for our vacation in Wildwood the cart looked like we were shopping for chocolate and fruit recipes.   I’m all about better for you desserts so I typically get fruit and they get the chocolate.

We can’t survive off ice cream and chips so I made sure we bought a few salads and even some fresh vegetables!  Chris usually hates when I make dark chocolate recipes.. I made cookies once with dark chocolate chips and he could actually tell it wasn’t milk chocolate.  The other day we went shopping at Sam’s Club to pick up  Dove® Fruit-Cranberry, a chocolate covered WHOLE dried cranberry.

I thought for sure, Chris isn’t touching these at all.  Instead.. when he woke up he had his oatmeal before work and was plopping them in.  WHAT?!

He took a handful and stirred them in with the boiling water and then plopped some on top.  I asked for a bite.. and it was delicious!  It’s a rich dark chocolate oatmeal with chunks of cranberries!  I have to say I liked the fresh one on top with each bite.  So, so good and so easy!

Does your family have a sweet tooth?  Do you have the constant struggle of “how do I get my toddler to eat their breakfast?”.  Yeah, me too!  Here’s a great recipe that you can give to your toddler or even your big kid that’s heading back to school!  You most likely have all the ingredients, just head to your local Sam’s Club and pick up some Dove® Fruit-Cranberry – Chocolate Covered Cranberries  I don’t want to scare you, but Dove® Fruit-Cranberry has a very limited availability.  Hubby already went out and purchased a few more bags.  We’re excited that they’ll have a Whole Cherry variety out in the fall!

Since they are dipped in dark chocolate I thought for sure Chris wouldn’t like this better for you chocolate treat and I was so wrong.  We love them even mixed in a trail mix or own their own.
