Grown-up Brownies

Traditional comfort food gets an adult makeover. Dolcielo, an Atlanta-based company specializing in innovative desserts, announces gourmet brownies targeted for adults.

"Brownies have grown up," says Dolcielo's owner, Nanette Littlestone. "We wanted to turn an ordinary treat into something designed for the adult palate."

The brownies showcase a combination of dried fruit and liqueur surrounded by dark chocolate. Dolcielo carries this theme in four flavors:

• Amureo, apricots with Disaronno Amaretto;

• Bellasanti. cherries with Cherry Heering;

• Celesola, pineapple with Bacardi Gold;

• Donamato, plums with Kahl a Especial.

The company also offers a brownie without fruit and liqueur, Divina, for those who prefer an unadulterated sweet.

Because the brownies are made without preservatives, each batch is baked to order.

Dolcielo was founded by Nanette Littlestone, who says she has long had a love of baking and sharing good food. "My goal is to heal the world with love and chocolate," she says. The company donates two percent of each sale to Heifer International and the National Wildlife Federation.
