Amai is a relatively young bakery based in New York that specializes in brownies and other treats made from scratch with all-natural, high quality ingredients. Their flavors tend towards indulgent, but slightly unusual, combinations, such as Luscious Lychee and Mandarin [Orange] Dreams brownies. Slightly less exotic but ideal for the celebratory spirit of the season are Amai's Champagne Brownies. Sold in boxes of four or eight, the dark chocolate brownies have an intense flavor and are topped with a fine champagne glaze, in addition to having a subtle taste of champagne from the sparkling wine mixed into the batter. The 8-brownie pack is $42.

Brownies are meant to be thick and fudgy, and while enjoyed by people of all ages, they are best loved by children. Dolcielo Brownies are brownies made with adults in mind, as they come in a variety of unusual, yet decadent, flavors in addition to their original dark chocolate, Divinia. Made with all-natural ingredients and the best quality chocolate, each of the flavors is built on the plain, dark base and is infused with liquors in addition to fruits and nuts. The flavors include apricot, pineapple, plum and cherry. The brownies pictured here are a limited edition called Elegrazia, which features a combination of cranberries, Triple Sec and walnuts. The brownies are $50 per dozen.
