Talent, listen up: Let’s rehearse the traveling Treet show.
Treet Formerly Known as a Brownie, you’re the opener. Take the stage dressed in your star-papered wrap. Start slow with the gooey, all-chocolate number then whip out the peanut butter buttercream filling. (The duet of just-local ingredients and home-baked goodness never fails to make them sing.)
Now early bird favorites, hit it! Cornbread, steal the second act with agave nectar, creamline milk and butter, and raspberry preserves. Buttery cinnamon and cranberry scones, you’re on backup.
Custom mini cupcakes, go go go. Let’s put a spotlight on carrot cake with maple cream cheese frosting.
And bring it home, cookies! The Health Nut’s oats, agave, cranberries, and walnuts really trim the fat for an encore.
They’ll be begging for a comeback.
Available online at treetshop.com; Wednesdays, 2-7 p.m., at Clarendon Farmers’ Market, 3100 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington.
