Imagine a giant jar of Nutella.
Now, imagine a pie.
Not just any pie, a brown butter blondie pie.
Look at your lonely jar of Nutella. Now back to the pie. Now back to the jar.
Now back to the pie.
Sadly, your pie is not nearly as delicious as it could be.
However, if your brown butter blondie pie was stuffed with Nutella,
it would rock your world. One bite at a time.
Taste the difference.
Nutella. Stuffed. Brown. Butter. Blondie. Pie.
