Ingredients:

• 40 pieces cut watermelon, honeydew melon, fresh pineapple, cantaloupe and small strawberries.
• 1 bag soft sugared pink candies
• 40 wooden skewers
• 2 bags white chocolate chips
• red food coloring
• Fruit Dip
• 1 container (16oz) vanilla fat free yogurt
• 1 container (16oz) fat free sour cream
• 2 - 8 pkg (8oz) fat free/low fat cream cheese , softened
• 3 Tbsp sugar
• 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg

Steps:

1. Use a large wide deep pan for a double boiler. Fill half full of water. Use only a stainless steel or glass bowl. Add both bags of white chocolate chips in the bowl. Bring the water to a boil and lower to a simmer.

 
2. Keep stirring until the chocolate starts melting and becomes smooth. Add a drop at a time of red food coloring until you get the color pink you like. Stir in well.

3. I used a large sheet cake pan, I poured all the pink chocolate into the pan spreading it evenly.

 
4. I laid out all 40 skewers, rolling them in the chocolate until coated. I took each one out and stood them in a stainless steel cup to harden.

 
5. When all were done, I washed the pan, dried, covered it with plastic wrap and lightly spray oiled. Took each skewer and laid it on the pan.

6. I took 1 of each fruit, two half strawberries and 2 pink candies.

 
7. And started building my kabobs. I found it was easiest to put the harder fruit on first, then the more fragile fruit last. Ending with strawberries on each end and lastly a pink candy on each end.

 

Fruit Dip

1. Add yogurt, sour cream, cream cheese, and vanilla in a bowl.

 
2. Mix with an electric mixer all ingredients. Tint it pink by a drop at a time until you get the color you like.

3. I put this on an oval glass platter, that was not flat, (reason, it gave the fruit a space beneath for any water draining from the fruit) It worked! Display with the fruit dip in the middle! The presentation was beautiful for the Baby Girl Shower!
