Brownie at Panera Bread

Rah, this is what I was talking about. The brownie at Panera Bread. Not only do I love their brownie, the way its baked perfectly and taste heavenly, their packing add a simple delight. It's probably the size of your Banana Nut Bread you baked today.

But I am so inlove with the simplity of their packaging and yet its still sophisticated. I think you should pack your bread this way.
