Penne from the Block

Nut Your Average Brownie
Elevate a standard fudgy brownie to a level of class and elegance beyond imagination. What flavor elements might I speak of that enrich these brownies with bourgeois sophistication and raise them to the epitome of luxury? Edible gold dust? Truffle butter? Russian caviar? Saffron?

Every once in a millennium (hyperbole) the sprawling pear tree that lives in the backyard of the people responsible for my presence in this world likes to blossom and bear fruit.
