INCOMPARABLE
This is what happened...
Woke up at 7 am to prepare for the big day, Graduation. I hustled over to the Main Building for some water and that was when I saw I had a package. Having only 3 hours left on campus before Graduation was over and I was on my way home, I needed to retrieve my package. But who could be sending me a package this late? Perishable was on the outside of the box, I tried racking my brain as to who could have sent me this..Mom maybe? Nope.
Leaving from Graduation stuffed in the backseat of the car ready for a 3-1/2 hour drive, I thought I knew who this treat was from. Anything in a box with perishable on it has got to be something good. Upon opening the brown outside mailing box I came upon another box.....oh but this one was way different.... This box was amazing and I knew I was in for a treat but never would I have imagined what was about to unfold. A beautiful cream colored box tied with a black silk ribbon - very classy....but what I was about to see inside was....well....let's just say this decadent can't even describe what my eyes and stomach were about to behold. Inside I found two layers of Cookies and Brownies, but not just ordinary Cookies and Brownies might I add. This mysterious "box" was from "The Indulgent Baker" of what has become my favorite bakery - Ruby et Violette. My mother, brother and I had such a fun 3 and 1/2 hour drive eating these treats with names like "Sweet Seduction" "German Chocolate Cake", "Mimi's Molasses", "Espresso Bean", just to name a few. Such a great way to celebrate my graduation- plus, during the sampling in the car, I have found a new favorite among their delectable treats, which I honored by the title of this blog post....The "Incomparable" because of Ruby et Violette's brownie so aptly named - "Incomparable." Thanks to Ruby et Violette, I have now found the best brownie I have ever put into my mouth. The Incomparable brownie is packed with peanut butter , toffee, caramel, and white and dark chocolate chips. Sorry Mom but I think this brownie reigns supreme in the world of brownies! Its alright everyone because my Mom agrees!
If you want to try any of their decadent delicacies here's the info: (The box I described is called The Fountainebleau - Smooth, sophisticated beauty on the outside, blatant indulgence on the inside. I can attest to that!)
