Fruity Grilled Chocolate Kabobs

3 pears, peeled and cut into quarters
6 grapes, halved
12 strawberries
2 tbsp raw sugar
Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 15 min. (like for kabobs)

Chocolate Dip

½ cup favorite chocolate bar, chopped
½ cup + 2 tbsp heavy cream
25 mini marshmallows
2 tbsp chopped toasted almonds

Note: You can change the fruit to whatever you like and the nuts as well…or eliminate the nuts altogether.

Melt the chocolate, heavy cream and marshmallows in a small saucepan over low heat. Stay on it and keep stirring. Bring to a boil and whisk rapidly for about 2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Stir in nuts. Set aside.

In a bowl, combine fruit and sprinkle with sugar. Toss gently. Put them on skewers.

Grill fruit skewers for about 7 minutes, until the fruit is caramelized and heated well.

Serve with the freshly made chocolate dip.
