I just wanted to share a really great blog article that was written by Geoff Fox, who is a weatherman on WTNH New Channel 8 in Connecticut. Geoff's wife Helaine decided to send brownies as a holiday gift this last December and the scheduled delivery date was set for December 21st. The following story is from Geoff's blog.
"This blog is often the best place to give a kiss on the cheek to a business which has gone above and beyond the call. That's especially true of David Kravetz at Fairytale Brownies (brownies.com) who came through and saved the day in the midst of their/our Christmas rush. Fairytale Brownies is a Phoenix based business. This is not a case of someone being nice because they've watched me on TV for the last 25 years. Helaine sent a gift to a friend. The package tracking info said it would be there on the 21st. When Helaine hadn't heard from the friend by the 23rd she called. No delivery! Except that's not what the tracking data said. UPS said the package had been delivered to her apartment building.
Helaine called Fairytale and spoke with David. Whether he always answers the phones or was drawn in for Christmas isn't clear. He saw we'd been good customers over time. He didn't need to see any more. David said he'd make it right even though Fairytale could have defensibly claimed it was a UPS problem. As someone with a stake in the business, he knew this was where long term relationships are made and lost. If Helaine would provide a daytime address, he'd sent it overnight at his expense.
This is a Christmas story with a happy ending. The brownies arrived the next day. Thanks David! The Foxes of Connecticut really appreciate your kindness and wanted everyone to know! Oh, and the brownies are really yummy!"

This week I had to get new glasses, due to always getting a headache when I wore my current prescription (this went on for a full year, not recommended). Well I went to a new eye doctor, who was very personable, funny and figured out my issue. My current glasses were to strong of a prescription. While he was doing the examination, he noticed the sweater I was wearing displaying the Fairytale Brownies logo. He inquired of the business and said he would visit our website 
Although we've attended the show for many years as shoppers, this was our second year attending as an exhibitor.
Begin a new Valentine's Day tradition this year by sending that special someone a chocolate indulgence from

"We're listening to the particular needs of foodservice providers and retail outlets," Eileen Spitaly, Fairytale Brownies co-founder said. "Our goal is to simplify dessert preparation while preserving the integrity of our gourmet brand." Our new Fairytale Half-Sheets arrive ready to serve and can be cut to a preferred size or shape as needed. The Fairytale Half-Sheets (4 lbs.) are baked in Original, Chocolate Chip and Walnut flavors and are sold by the case (5/4 lb.).
New retail ready packaging for Fairytale's individually wrapped brownies is being introduced at the show. Brownies, Sprites or Magic Morsels now will arrive in a 4-color display box with a pop-up lid for maximum consumer visibility. "These boxes should work very well in the frozen section as an entire unit for sale because they are shrink wrapped," Spitalny said.
Fairytale offers a great drop-ship program for catalog companies, floral shops and other online retailers. We ship UPS worldwide, and USPS to P.O. Boxes and APO/FPO addresses.
We know there are those of you out there who strongly believe that pie is the next big thing, and we see the signs, sure, but we're also betting on the brownie.
