Growing up with my parents meant learning how to say thank you. You say thank you when someone passes you the broccoli at the table, you send a thank you card when given a gift, and when someone goes out of their way to really do something nice, you say thank you in style, like this platter of berries and chocolate.
My mom really wanted to say thank you to a local dental office after they went above and beyond to beautify her smile. We put our heads together and decided on a platter of fruit and chocolate. Costco had a gorgeous selection of Rainier cherries, strawberries and blackberries, so we went with those. We then set to work making Funfetti cakeballs, raspberry cheesecake bites, and Ghiradhelli brownie bites (from the boxed mix).
It turned out to be a really fun platter to deliver, and it was definitely a crowd pleaser. You could do something like this for a shower, a party, or a fun way to surprise a loved one. And of course, it's a wonderful way to say thank you!

Yummy and what a wonderful thank you.
You know, I've heard it was nice to give edible arrangements baskets (those big fruit basket things)...but I'd rather have one of these. gorgeous!

It looks beautiful and I love the irony of giving chocolate to the dentist's office.
YUMM-O...this platter of fruit and chocolate looks amazing. I love to mix them together also.
What a beautiful way to say "thank you." I bet your mom's dental office was thrilled with their gift. Sometimes I think saying thank you is becoming a lost custom.
Will you send me a thank you platter too? Please? Pretty please?
It's beautiful, delicious, and so very thoughtful!

That seriously is the most glorious "thank you" expression ever!
