Get to know me

Hello, Fairytale Fans!
 
I'm Alyssa Andrews and work in the Marketing Department at Fairytale Brownies. My official title is Sales and PR. In addition to the obvious, I am Co-Founder Eileen Spitalny's assistant, I research new Fairytale products, coordinate donations, and maintain our KaBOOM! partnership.

I have a journalism background so I'm naturally "nosy." I make it a point to know as much as I can about all things Fairytale Brownies, so if you have any questions, just ask!

Include Fairytale Brownies on your Super Bowl dessert menu

Wednesday, January 25, 2012 by Alyssa Andrews
fballIn 2008, Arizona was preparing for Super Bowl XLII to be played in Glendale. The undefeated New England Patriots were playing the wild card New York Giants.

The big game may not be in Arizona this year (2015), but because the same two teams will be playing, I thought our football-playing Brownie Guy would help us get in the Super Bowl mood.

Fairytale Brownies was part of the media celebration held at Corona Ranch in Laveen a few days before the 2008 game.

We created a couple of football field...Read More » »

One of our customers shared her gourmet brownie story about how she came to love Fairytale Brownies.

Here is is:

classic "It was last Christmas (2010) when I received a box in the mail from one of my suppliers with three beautiful tiered boxes filled with your tasty treats. It is just my husband and I, so we certainly couldn't eat them all; so I brought them to my parents for Christmas and they were a huge hit. Now I use them to give as gifts to my best clients for special occasions.

Fairytale Brownies thanks team members with gourmet treats

Thursday, December 22, 2011 by Alyssa Andrews
Just a few more days and the Fairytale Brownies busy season will once again be finished.

Celebrate National Chocolate-Covered Anything Day with Fairytale Truffles

Friday, December 16, 2011 by Alyssa Andrews

yumToday is National Chocolate Covered Anything Day and chocolate lovers should make the most of it by eating as much chocolate as they can.

I'm definitely doing my part. At 5:15 a.m. I dipped my Cheerios in chocolate sauce for breakfast. Who needs milk?

My co-worker, Kari, has a stash of dark chocolate-covered almonds to help her get through our busy season - a little protein, a little antioxidant. Of course, at 8:02 a.m. (snack time) I had a few with my Christmas Blend while writing this blog.

Promote world peace with Fairytale Brownies

Wednesday, December 7, 2011 by Alyssa Andrews
Seventy years ago today, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and declared war on the United States.

morsel Although that horrific day still lives in infamy, I can't help but wonder what would have happened if Japanese officials had eaten a gourmet brownie from Fairytale Brownies at their bomb dropping planning meeting. One bite of our fudgy confections and all ill feelings towards the U.S. would have melted away!

Yes, I DO live in fairytaleland.

But wouldn't it be great if we could eliminate all bad...Read More » »
