Thanksgiving: Fruit Dips

Some of my favorite appetizers/snacks/desserts are fresh fruit dipped in yummy dip (I'd take it over any dessert any day!).  I know there's a bunch, but here are just a few favorites and a few new ones I haven't tried, but definitely want to!

Strawberries and Cinnamon Mascarpone

This is from Butter, Sugar, Flour. She's from Australia, hence the measurements in grams.
