Cinnamon Cheesecake Fondue AND a GIVEAWAY!!

I found this recipe in my new cookbook by Joy Bauer called Slim & Scrumptious. This was a fun and quick dish I made for my kids' afternoon snack this week. Needless to say it was a HUGE hit with both of my kids and they gobbled up every last bite. It was fun for them to eat and it was a great way to load up on fresh fruit. My daughter liked to dip the fruit and crackers directly into the dip while my son liked to spread the dip on the graham cracker then top it with a piece of fruit - just like a real piece of cheesecake. This one is a keeper!
