Happy Anniversary Amy. I hope you and your hubby have a very romantic evening at home celebrating your anniversary again. There is no limit to the amount of celebrating you can do for birthdays or anniversaries! My favorite easy at home dessert is what everyone else mentioned. Chocolate covered strawberries, bananas, pineapple, apple wedges and lots of whip cream (my favorite). It's just a nice way to have something simple but yummy at the same time.

This is REALLY good and REALLY easy!!
Sopapilla Cheesecake
2 cans crescent rolls (Pillsbury recommended)
3 8oz. blocks of cream cheese, softened
2 cups of sugar, divided (save 1/4 cup for topping) ***NOTE** I only use about 1 1/2 cups of sugar total. I think it's too sweet with a whole 2 cups.
1 stick real butter
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. cinamon
Grease a 9 x 13 pan. Roll one container of crescent rolls in bottom of pan. Mix cream cheese, vanilla and 1 3/4 cup sugar with beater until smooth. Spread over crescent rolls in pan. Top with other can of crescent rolls. Melt butter and pour over top of dessert. Mix cinamon and 1/4 cup sugar together and sprinkle on top. Bake at 350 for 40 to 45 minutes or until golden.

Amy, get yourself a chocolate fountain. They have small ones. We were at a diner party the other night, and we dipped fruit in it. Yum!

Happy Anniversary
