cream-cheese-brownieOne of my favorite parts of my job here at Fairytale Brownies is being on the quality control team. As you might be able to guess, this involves tasting fudgy brownies and gourmet cookies to make sure that every batch meets our high quality standards. We strive to make the best brownies and cookies in the world, so we spend a lot of time making sure we're doing everything we can to achieve that goal.

As a member of the QC team, I check a sample of several batches of treats once a week. My day is...Read More » »

New products at the Fairytale BakeryIt's a busy time of year here at Fairytale Brownies! I can't believe September is more than half over. Our Autumn catalogs are officially in customers' hands, full of new gourmet brownie and cookie gifts for the holidays, and the halls of the Fairytale Bakery are full of new faces here to help us with the holiday rush to send brownies and have cookies delivered worldwide.

The marketing team has been buried with work lately, but we are slowly digging out. Erin has returned from her maternity...Read More » »

thank-you-morsel-dozenFriday is going to be a bittersweet day for our family. After four months at a great daycare, we are taking our daughter out to save some money and get her more individual attention by sharing a nanny with friends (Fairytale Brownies graphic designer Erin, who is returning from maternity leave Monday). While the savings and 2-to-1 baby to caregiver ratio will be great for our daughter Kat, we have loved the daycare she is attending. I know we've made the right decision for our family, but it was...Read More » »

magic morselsMy husband and I are heading out on our first road trip with our 6.5 month old daughter on Thursday. We'll be driving at least 7 hours to California to visit friends for the long weekend, and for us, road trips mean snacks. Our staples are beef jerky, fruit and, of course, fudgy chocolate brownies. I've been working here at Fairytale Brownies for 5 years, so our Belgian chocolate brownies have become a frequent snack. We especially like to take Magic Morsels mini brownies on the road with us, as...Read More » »

thinking_of_you_cookie_sprite_comboA good friend of mine back in Indiana is having a rough week, and after talking to her this morning, I decided she could use a pick-me-up surprise. I decided there could be no better thinking of you gift than a box of Belgian chocolate brownies and cookies delivered to her doorstep.

So I'm sending her a Thinking of You Cookie & Sprite Combo to help raise her spirits while she navigates a difficult time in her life. An indulgent treat can go a long way when you're feeling down, and I hope these...Read More » »

Quick Gourmet Dessert!

brownies and ice creamThis post could have an alternate title: Why I always keep fudgy chocolate brownies in my freezer. I have always been a dessert eater, which really is why I applied for this job at Fairytale Brownies5 years ago. I attribute my love of dessert to my grandmother, who always had some kind of dessert for lunch and dinner, whether it was a cookie, cake, brownie or berries and cream. While I no longer eat dessert all the time, I do occasionally want a little treat after dinner. Sunday night, after...Read More » »

cream cheese browniesOne of my favorite things I do here at Fairytale Browniesis quality control. This means that one day a week, I get to go downstairs and sample that day's Belgian chocolate brownies and gourmet cookies to make sure they are the best brownies and cookies we can make. Thanks to our amazing baking team, there is rarely a problem with any of our treats, but someone still tastes brownies every day to make sure that every time you send brownies, they meet our very high quality standards. Yesterday was...Read More » »

bebe+jamesWe seem to be having a bit of a baby boom here at Fairytale Brownies. My little girl Katharine is 5 months old, our graphic designer Erin's son James is 2 weeks old (that's him in the picture with Eileen's daughter Bebe, who just happened to be here when he came to visit last week - so cute!), and two members of our baking and shipping teams are expecting their own bundles of joy before the year ends.

Of the many things I've learned so far about being a working (and nursing) mom, it's that...Read More » »

Gourmet Sugar-Free Brownies to the Rescue!

gourmet brownie trifleMy mother-in-law is coming to town this weekend to meet our 4.5-month-old little "morsel," Kat, and to join us for an Independence Day BBQ. Now I don't know about you, but in our family, no BBQ is complete without fudgy chocolate brownies for everyone. Fortunately for my mother-in-law, who is diabetic, she doesn't have to miss out on the gourmet brownie goodness, because Sugar-Free Magic Morsels are the best brownies for her - all the Fairytale Belgian chocolate brownie flavor, and none of the...Read More » »
