very cute, but you need two different brochos on ready to eat food, don't you?

you do NOT need 2 different brachos. you need 2 different minim - types of food. its a big misconception.

I actually asked a rov, Twiz. After you give your two MM, you can give any combination of foods/brochos you want. IMO it looks weird to just give a box of chocolate or one nice thing, but I've seen it done by very choshuv ppl.
