Though some fruits prefer to be eaten naked, many prefer to cover their seedy shame with an Armani-tailored three-piece suit of chocolate and coconut. Taste a fruit that's bursting with juice and dressed like Don Draper with today's Groupon: for $10, you get a box of chocolate-covered fruit at Edible Arrangements (a $25 value). You may either pick up or arrange a delivery at Edible Arrangement's Old West Austin, Great Hills Station, and Round Rock locations only. This deal is not valid for online orders or for orders delivered outside of the Austin area. Tax and delivery are not included with this Groupon.

Edible Arrangements' chocolate-covered strawberry box merges the rich flavors of chocolate with the succulent decadence of fresh strawberries. The primly packaged red box contains 12 ripe strawberries, each of which was picked at its peak freshness before being hand-dipped in a semi-sweet chocolate blend. As students trudge back to school in the coming weeks, teacher's pets seeking domestication can gift their eminent educator with something other than the traditional red apple or slab of shark meat by arriving on the first day with a box of chocolate-covered strawberries.

If you're allergic to strawberries or just still mad at them for making such a drunken scene at your wedding, you can use this deal instead to receive $25 worth of any other fruit arrangement. Edible Arrangement's fruit bouquets, which are preservative-free, come in many dashing displays and can include apple wedges, bananas, schnozberries, and more. All fruit is cut at the peak of freshness and ripeness so that it's ready to eat when delivered to your Labor Day party or celebration of Regis Philbin's 76th consecutive reincarnation as Regis Philbin.

Delivery rates vary, but most Austin locations cost about $12—be sure to ask when placing your order.
