Sweeter than sweet

I don't really do dessert too often. I'm not really that into sweets and I'm not usually hungry between dinner and bedtime. Jon needs dessert every night. He is really into sweets. Usually he wants something chcoolatey, but sometimes I can get him to eat something that's has some redeeming health qualities like fruit. Although, it helps if I drown it in butter and sugar before presenting it to him.

1 cup white sugar
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1 cantaloupe
6 Tbsp brown sugar
