Sprinkle pears with cinnamon and place, cut side up, in a baking dish. Place 1 piece of vegetable oil spread in the core cavity of each pear. Add 1/3 cup of water to dish and bake pears until tender, about 1 hour, basting with water once halfway through. Remove from oven and cool slightly. • 2 -Slice each pear lengthwise into thin slices and fan out on dessert plates. Heat chocolate and half-and-half in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and well combined, 1 to 2 minutes.
