Yesterday’s expensive dessert wasn’t really a recipe, but folks seemed to like it, albeit in a whishful way.  So below is another really expensive, really exclusive, non-jewelry/flowers way to say that you love him/her.

By the way, at these prices I hope you’re loaded.  

The Brownie Extraordinaire ($1,000.00)

You can try this dessert next time you’re on the East Coast of the U.S.- if you’re willing to dish out $1,000. The Brownie Extraordinaire is sold at Brule, a restaurant in the Tropicana Resort located in Atlantic City, New Jersey. But, this isn’t just any brownie. It’s made out of dark chocolate that is then covered with Italian hazelnuts and served with a scoop of ice cream. Along with the sweet dessert, customers are also given a very rare and highly expensive port wine, Quinta do Novel Nicional, from Portugal. The wine is poured and served in a St. Louis Crystal atomizer. Although a brownie may not seem like a very lavish dessert, adding the rare glass of wine most definitely spices things up. And, if you’re a really big spender, you can choose to spend $15,000 on a Valentine’s Day package at Tropicana Resorts, which includes        a hotel stay, romantic dinners, and of course the Brownie Extraordinaire.
