DALLAS, Dec. 2, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chef Andy Wittman, Pie Five Pizza's culinary guru, will travel to the ends of the Earth if that's what it takes to discover his next great menu inspiration.
He really hit the jackpot this year, courtesy of a well-placed elf, a supersonic sleigh and a red-nosed chauffeur.
Behold, Pie Five's latest limited-time dessert sensation: the Peppermint Brownie.
This holiday delight features a rich chocolate brownie packed with chocolate chips and a hint of peppermint, and topped off with a sweet peppermint drizzle. The Peppermint Brownie arrives at your nearest Pie Five Pizza restaurant on Monday, December 2nd, but will only be available through January 5th. So you better watch out; it'll be gone before Santa gives up on his latest diet.
"I can't disclose the exact location where the Peppermint Brownie was first created, but let's just say it was very cold. And the trees are made of peppermint," said Wittman. "But I'm really excited about this delicious dessert, which I believe our guests will agree is absolutely perfect for the holiday season."
