A brownie is one of those classics where the chocolate taste has to be instantly right. With 811, you get that original dark chocolate taste: deep cocoa, fruity notes, real intensity. The brown butter, pecans and salted ganache make it richer and more contemporary – but 811 keeps the chocolate taste exactly where it should be. In short: a bestseller, updated and loaded with taste.
