Chocolate and fruit are like the stars of a romantic comedy—seemingly at odds and already engaged to arrogant investment bankers, they finally come together in sweet taste-harmony with today's deal. With this Groupon, $7 gets you a half dozen delicious assorted fruits cozily spooing with their chocolate sweethearts from Fresh Fruit Bouquet Company, a $15 value. Children are often banned from dessert until they eat their fruit, and they're typically punished with 16 years hard labor in the dessert mines on the icy Saturnine moon of Enceladus. Show the world how efficient adults operate by streamlining the process with six fruitly chocolate morsels.

Bring your Groupon into the Fresh Fruit Bouquet Company on Coral Reef Drive to exchange cold, hard paper for decadent creations. As an added bonus for Groupon holders, the store is offering the baby fresh garden bouquet for $25 (a $40 value). It's a beautiful bouquet of strawberries, cantaloupe, honeydew, oranges, and pineapple daisies wonderfully arranged inside a dapper basket that's worthy of being affixed to Laura Ingalls Wilder's bicycle. You can finally say yes when people ask if they can eat your centerpiece.

If you just want to stick to the six-pack of treats, you're free to forge any combination of fruits and gourmet dippings. Build your own box of strawberries, apples, pineapples, oranges, and pears dunked in milk, white, and dark chocolate, depending on what's available. Those eight ingredients combine to form more than one billion options, all with one satisfying outcome: x-ray vision. The fruit inside the candied exterior scientifically counteracts the effects of a sugar high, making this a safe gift to give to hyperactive friends and caffeine-crazed coworkers. The unlikely Batman and Costello combination of nutrition and dessert makes a great gift, leaving unsuspecting recipients with the feeling of satisfactory surprise.
