3 squares (1 ounce each) white chocolate for baking
1 container (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons chocolate-flavored syrup
7 cups assorted fresh fruit dippers such as apple or pear wedges; banana or peach slices; or whole strawberries

Microwave white chocolate and half of the whipped topping, uncovered, on HIGH 1 minute, stirring after each 20-second interval, until melted and smooth.

In a bowl, combine cream cheese with white chocolate mixture; whisk until smooth. Fold in remaining whipped topping.

Place half of the dip into chilled bowl; drizzle with 1/4 cup of the chocolate syrup, forming an even layer. Cover chocolate syrup layer with remaining dip; forming a smooth surface. Drizzle remaining chocolate syrup in a spiral pattern over dip. Using cake tester, drag through chocolate syrup, forming a swirled pattern.

Prepare fruit for dipping. Place a bowl in center of chilled a platter; arrange fruit around dip.

Yield: 14 servings (2 3/4 cups dip)
