Impact
More & more Brown Butter appears to replace the once-vogue now-rote Fleur de Sel as the "new" breakthrough "innovation" in Flavorings for chocolate. Timely.
A recent study out of Tulane University tracking 150 individuals over the course of 1 year finds that fat -- whether from coconut or olive oil, MCTs or dairy cream -- significantly decreases C-reactive protein levels & triglycerides + reduces the ratio of total cholesterol to "good cholesterol," called high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Taken together the data indicates that high fat diets lower the risk of heart disease.
So here's the real killer: fat, even saturated fat, improves health (the only exception being hydrogenated fats).
Butter, maligned for decades as a "bad fat", is on a comeback.
Guess that makes it -- along with notable exotica like açai, spirulina, quinoa, & raw cacáo -- a "superfood".
So doctor's orders: 'fattens up y'all'.

Appearance 4.7 / 5
| Color: | orange-creamsicle |
| Surface: | Fruiton's usual fashion plate, ever enhanced by a flaw (some lone bubbling that serves as a beauty mold) |
| Temper: | reserved swagger |
| Snap: | hi-heels cutting up the dance floor |
Aroma 8.1 / 10
very dairy: milk -> cream -> butter on a strict continuum
roasted flint beneath
roasted flint beneath
Mouthfeel 10.3 / 15
| Texture: | yielding, to betray its Snap (above) |
| Melt: | strange chocodynamics… hydro wax / wet lumps |
Flavor 42.9 / 50
crushing caramel -> red grape -> cotton candy -> grows waxen… -> melted FD&C flavored food coloring sno-cone -> turns richer as the Textural woes dissolve into brown butter / brown sugar & the spiced hard-top of crème caramel flan (superb) -> drains away chocolate milk
Quality 15 / 20
Bizarre tactiles & a mid-palate that blanks out bland but, this being Fruition, rights itself for a bounty worth the wait. A decent if wobbly first batch attempt. Underdeveloped by Fruition's standard. Expect more & better as it gets a grip on working the browned butter recipes.
That aside, the price of bread led to the Reign of Terror in France & that of rice triggered the Arab Spring so long live the brown butter revolution.
INGREDIENTS: sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, nonfat milk powder, cow's butter, whole vanilla
