Yummy Brownies Get an Adult Makeover Dolcielo, an Atlanta-based company specializing in innovative desserts,
Traditional comfort food takes on a new twist. The brownies showcase a combination of dried fruit and liqueur surrounded by dark chocolate. Dolcielo carries this theme in four unique flavors: Amureo -- apricots with Disaronno Amaretto; Bellasanti -- cherries with Cherry Heering; Celesola -- pineapple with Bacardi Gold; and Donamato -- plums with Kahlúa Especial. The company also offers an original brownie without fruit and liqueur, Divina, for those who prefer an unadulterated sweet. "Chocolate lovers beware," says Sara Levy, Atlanta based food guru. "These are the most luscious and decadent brownies I have ever tasted. I am in the food industry which allows me the opportunity to try many food items, and I can honestly say you will not be disappointed." Dark chocolate continues to gain recognition for its health benefits, giving Dolcielo a natural boost. Only the finest natural ingredients and premium liqueurs are used. Because the brownies are made without preservatives, each batch is baked to order. The keyword at Dolcielo is elegance. From the high-quality ingredients to the beautiful packaging, everything combines for a luxurious experience. Dolcielo was founded from a love of baking and sharing good food. Owner Nanette Littlestone envisions Dolcielo as a way to make a difference. "I want to help create a better place for everyone," she says. "My goal is to heal the world with love and chocolate." With that idea in mind, the company donates two percent of each sale to Heifer International and the National Wildlife Federation. For further information about Dolcielo, visit www.dolcielo.com. |
