This has been an extremely eventful week here at Fairytale Brownies. As our loyal readers know, one of our Customer Service Team members is having a baby. Well, she's due anytime now, and we decided to throw her a Fairytale Surprise Party!
Needless to day, any good party here at Fairytale includes the best brownies on earth! (No, the cake is cake, brownies were later.) Tanika was so surprised and pleased...and I hope Mackel will be pleased with all the love shown by all our people here, and I'm sure he will be.
On Tuesday, we're kicking our season into high gear with the arrival of our seasonal employees here in Customer Service. They will be here until just before Christmas to help us send brownies, cookies, and all of our other corporate food gifts for the holiday season. We have one who is with us for his fourth season, and has started with us already! Welcome back Tony "The Confrontation" Sanders!
As a side note, Rosh Hashanah will commence at sundown on September 8th this year, so, Happy New Year!
Hello everyone, I know it has been a while since you have heard from your funny, friendly Fairytale Brownies customer service team member, but I am here to give you some updates. The last time we talked my boys were on their way to grandmother's house. Well they are back, ready for school and ready for their turn at "class treat for the day." They have already put in requests to me for Chocolate Chip Magic Morsels, and the designated snack-day lists haven't even gone out yet! Well, I have even a better surprise for them because now we have Double Chocolate Fairytale Cookies (coming this September). YEAH!!
Next on the agenda is my baby shower, yes I am 9 months pregnant and having another boy. And by request from several of the attendees, they would like Fudgy chocolate brownies, so their wish is my command, even at my baby shower. The invites have been sent and 2 even included a 8-Sprite Favor which I feel is a great treat for one person. Please look in the coming months for our new line of Cookie treats! ~Happy Reading!
We recently asked our Fairytale Brownies Facebook fans what kind of Spring offers they would like to see. Most of the responses from our fans were to run more contests/giveaways in addition to more Free Shipping offers... You asked for it - and we listened!
This week Brandie and Kristie from our Corporate Sales Team are in Las Vegas participating in the PPAI (Promotional Products Association International) Expo. The PPAI Expo is the premier tradeshow for the promotional products industry. Fairytale Brownies is there promoting our great line of products designed specifically for that industry.
Fairytale Brownies has many options for personalization which is very popular in the promotional products industry. For example, we can print your 4-color high resolution logo or photo onto either our wooden keepsake boxes, satin ribbon, favor boxes, and on our own custom craft box wrap. And since our gourmet brownies are individually wrapped, we can print your logo directly onto the brownie label! To find our more information on our custom & corporate gifts, including our promotional products, please visit brownies.com/distributor or brownies.com/custom.
Here is a picture taken by Brandie of our booth at the PPAI Expo. Today is the last day of the show, so we have lots of show details next week when Brandie and Kristie return. Until then...Have a Fairytale Day!
Fairytale Brownies will return to San Francisco for the NASFT's 35th Winter Fancy Food Show with products for foodservice, retailers and catalogers. Fairytale Brownies will display and sample the wholesale brownie and truffle flavors at the Fancy Food Show from January 17th - 9th at Booth #1364 in the North Hall of the Moscone Center.
"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.
Other Fairytale Brownie products available for wholesale include a 1 lb. Brownie Tray (Original and Walnut flavors), 2 lb. Occasion Walnut Tray, Fairytale Truffles (Original, Caramel, Raspberry Swirl, Walnut and Candy Cane flavors), Special Occasion Assortments, Fairytale Sprites and Magic Morsels.
The 3" x 3" individually wrapped brownies and 1 lb. brownie trays are currently sold at all AJ's Fine Foods and Whole Foods grocers in Arizona, as well as Gelson's Markets in Southern California and other gourmet retailers. Fairytale Brownies also are ideal for gift basket companies who work with perishable items because each brownie is individually wrapped. See a list of all retail locations here.
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.
Fairytale Brownies began its successful mail order brownie business in 1992. Fairytale Brownies are baked with imported Callebaut Belgian dark chocolate and other natural ingredients and all brownies are Certified Kosher.
"On the 2nd day of Christmas New Around the Blogs gave you a Fairytale Brownies giveaway and review. Fairytale Brownies is a company that started when two friends from school decided to share their love for chocolate and brownies with the world. The item I received to review was the Winter Sprite Wonderland assortment.
It included 16 individually wrapped gourmet brownies in flavors that included, Peanut Butter Brownies, Toffee Crunch Brownies and my favorite Chocolate Chip Brownies! These were a big hit arriving the week of Thanksgiving when my whole family was around. We were all tasting and trading. Fairytale Brownies have no trans fat, hydrogenated oils, preservatives, or artificial flavors. The Brownies are guaranteed fresh upon arrival. All Fairytale Brownies are certified Kosher as well. It's great knowing such care goes into these Brownies. Check out all of the flavors, as I am sure you can't pick just one.
There is an occasion to order Brownies every month of the year. From Welcome New Baby Gifts, to Happy Halloween Brownies, to Anniversaries and Happy Birthday Gifts, Fairytale Brownies knows how to say it. Fairytale Brownies are de-lish!

Last month, Fairytale Brownies partnered with Celebrations (a division of 800.flowers) to sponsor a contest to see who could come up with the most unique theme for a children's birthday party. The winners were selected last week and Fairytale Brownies shipped the winners their prizes.
We received a great email from one of the winners this morning to let us know she received her gift and that she was so excited to try our delicious gourmet brownies! Here is what she wrote:
"I just received your wonderful box of delicious brownies awarded me as the 2nd place winner for one of the "Celebrations" parties. We gave a princess and pirate birthday party for my grandchildren - 3 year old boy and girl twins and 4 year old grandson - born one year and one week apart. The brownies are fabulous - thank you so much...what a treat!! - Maryl G."
Maryl received our Fairytale Double Dozen (see picture at right) for being the 2nd place winner in the contest. The Fairytale Double Dozen contains an assortment of 24 brownies carefully packed in our classic gift box with purple gift band. Thank you so much Marly for your great feedback and we are so happy you are enjoying the brownies!
Me and my dog Wyndie had a little scare on Monday. I thought she might have had a seizure! All the vets were closed on Monday so I called first thing Tuesday morning to make an appointment. I just recently moved so I hadn't picked a new vet in town. I called the first one I could find. They were able to get Wyndie in that afternoon. As it turns out she didn't have a seizure, she actually got a hold of one of those nasty Colorado River toads. The vet said all they have to do is lick it or something that it had been sitting on and it can cause a reaction. They have a poison on them that can be very harmful to animals. The vet and staff were so nice and informative! The next day they even called to check on Wyndie. So on my way home yesterday I stopped by the office with a thank you box of our gourmet brownies. I couldn't think of a better way to thank them for taking care of my baby than delicious chocolate brownies! I had to make sure the staff knew how thankful I was for their professionalism and care and I think a box of Fairytale Brownies did the trick!

Recently, more than ever for some reason, when I tell people where I work they ask me, what do people buy brownies for? Each time I answer that question I come up with another reason to send someone the best brownies in the world. I don't just say the typical reasons (birthday, anniversary, new baby, holiday, etc.). I usually try to come up with something they wouldn't usually think of. So I thought I would list a couple of them!
- Road trip snack (Magic Morsels are perfect for that!) - Housewarming - Soldier care packages - First day of school or last day of school - Trying to earn "brownie" points (I recently sent brownies to a love interest and I think my brownie points went through the roof!) - Day before starting a diet treat :) - T.G.I.F. - First day of baseball season (or football, basketball, hockey, whatever!)
If you have any to add or want to share why you have sent brownies, please do!
Here is another great story from another great Fairytale Brownies fan. Thank you so much for your kind words!
"I am one of the lucky winners of the Employee Network contest. My Royal Tower was delivered to my cubicle this morning and I immediately became the most popular girl in all the department!
Of course I knew beforehand how utterly delicious these brownies would be! I've been both a friend and fan since the very early days. But I was really impressed today by the packaging. The suede and leather wrapped boxes are quite sumptuous. Fairytale Brownies have come a long way, baby!!!
Thank ou for the delicious treats and for giving me the chance to share your story with all my co-workers. It's a beautiful one. All my best,"
"Just give me one second…it’s difficult to type, while holding a brownie in one hand and a glass of milk in the other.Oh, who am I kidding!The outrageously delicious brownies from Fairytale Brownies barely even made it past the doorway.Hollow chocolate Easter bunnies were sooo last year.It's all about an Easter basket of brownies, baby.
Please pay attention, because what I’m about to tell you may change your life, or at least how you think of dessert:Fairytale Brownies creates some of the most decadent little brownie treasures ever to grace your lips. And trust me, mama, I know my brownies. I also know great presentation – I like things to be pretty and stylish and make a great first impression. The box that arrived from Fairytale Browniessurpassed this chocoholic’s standards.
I was thrilled when Fairytale Brownies offered to send me their Easter Medley box for a Product Review.The Easter Medley arrived in a richly-colored purple box lined with purple tissue-paper, and sealed with a silver label.No flimsy or cheap packaging here.The box contained 12 Fairytale flavors: original, caramel, chocolate chip, cream cheese, espresso nib, mint chocolate, peanut butter, pecan, raspberry swirl, toffee crunch, walnut and white chocolate.Read the list again if you need to. I know, it's pretty overwhelming at first.I really can’t tell you which brownie was my favorite. I think I may have to try them all over again, you know, as a professional.But, the true test of our overall impression was when I had my husband taste the Espresso Nib brownie. I’m not a coffee drinker, so I asked him to join the Review.Husband’s exact words, “They know what they’re doing.”Well, that's all I needed to hear to try the Espresso Nib for myself, and I whole-heartedly agreed.There is just the right amount of those flavor combinations, so that the taste of good chocolate is never lost.In other words, there is just the right amount of mint in the mint chocolate brownie, so it’s not overpowering.There is the perfect combination of caramel in the caramel brownie. The toffee crunch has just enough crunch to offer a sweet surprise, but you never forget you’re eating rich, quality chocolate.
Somehow, Fairytale Brownies manage to taste divine, and still be all-natural, certified kosher and free of trans fats, hydrogenated oils, preservatives and artificial colors.The brownies are baked from scratch with rich, dark Belgian chocolate, pure creamery butter and farm fresh eggs. Is your mouth watering yet?They are guaranteed fresh upon arrival, and they definitely came through on this guarantee. Don’t let the purple wrapping on each brownie fool you. There is nothing store-bought about these treats.They have specially designed boxes for every occasion, including Happy Birthday, Thinking of You,Congratulations, Thank You and Welcome New Baby.But, really, who needs a special occasion to send some brownie love?
The story behind the formation of Fairytale Brownies is as sweet as their product. Co-founders Eileen Spitalny and David Kravetz met on the kindergarten playground, and remained friends through their school years. They decided at an early age that they wanted to be entrepreneurs and disseminate brownie goodness across the world.Their company was founded in 1992,where it began in a friend's catering kitchen using David's mom's 50-year-old secret family brownie recipe. Fast forward almost two decades later, and Eileen and David now oversee a gourmet brownie business that bakes over 2.5 million brownies annually!Fairytale Brownies is the nation’s largest gourmet mail-order brownie company.
Because David and Eileen have such fond memories of their early childhood play, Fairytale Brownies supports KaBOOM!, a national non-profit organization that empowers communities to build playgrounds. Purchase any Thank You, Happy Birthday, Congratulations, Thinking of You, Patriotic or their adorable Welcome New Baby assortment, and a part of the proceeds is donated to KaBOOM! so they can help give the gift of play to children across the country. Ironically, my mommy support group just helped build a KaBoom!sponsored playground in our community last weekend!Definitely an amazing charitable organization.
Thank you to David’s mom for sharing that secret. Thank you to David and Eileen for knowing a good thing, and staying friends.And thank you to Fairytale Brownies.You’ve certainly made the world a sweeter place, by the millions! Brownies like mom used to make.Only much, much better. Don't just take my word for how great these brownies taste.Fairytale Brownies has been featured on the NBC Today Show, The Rachael Ray Show,Food Finds, Game Show Network and others!Check out their interviews and guest appearances.Just last month, they appeared on QVC:"
