I feel like I’m the only one in my life who holds this opinion, but I have never tasted a combination of chocolate and fruit that wasn’t significantly worse than the individual components.

• Chocolate covered raisins? Blegh.
• Chocolate dipped strawberries? I’ll eat the shell then the rest.
• Raspberry bits in fancy chocolate? You’ve ruined it.
• Candied apple? Just plain caramel please, no chocolate.
• Chocolate fondue? I’ll stick to the marshmallows and graham crackers, thanks.
• Gorp mix? I’m selecting handfuls with either raisins + peanuts or m&ms + peanuts, no blending.

Now I know taste buds are subjective, but how is it that folks will say a mixed bowl of m&ms and skittles is diabolical, yet happily chow down on other fruity chocolate combos? Give me my delicious fruit and chocolate - separately!
