There is a widespread misconception that one who is in the midst of a 
meal that includes bread is not required to recite a blessing on any 
other foods that are consumed in the course of the meal. As we will 
see, the Hamotzi blessing recited over bread at the beginning of a 
meal only exempts foods and their condiments eaten primarily in order 
to satisfy hunger.[1] Other foods will often require their own 
blessing even when eaten during the meal.

For example, foods that are eaten following the main course of a 
meal, such as deserts, fruits, and sweets, will often require their 
own blessing.[2]  There is an interesting exception, however. If such 
foods are eaten together with bread they will not require their own 
blessing. So although fruit eaten as a dessert requires its own 
blessing one would not recite a blessing on the fruit if one eats the 
fruit with bread in every bite.[3]
