Beat The Heat with Frozen Brownies

by Andre Hall-Rodrigues | Jul 12, 2023 | Crafty Creations, Just for Fun

Ask 10 people how to beat the heat during the summer months and you might receive 10 different responses. Everyone has their own way to stay cool, whether it’s splashing in a body of water or chilling in an air-conditioned building. After all that summertime playing, at some point, you’re bound to get hungry.

Reach for something cold, reach for something tasty. Reach for Frozen Brownie Pops. Think Belgian chocolate brownies dipped in chocolate and decorated with your favorite toppings – frozen and on a stick! They’re easy to make and perfect for BBQs, surprise visitors, and anytime snacks. Topping suggestions are limited to your imagination.

Of course, you don’t have to create Brownie Pops to enjoy frozen brownies, cookies, or blondies. Fairytale treats taste great as is – right out of the freezer.

“Love, Love these brownies!! They are delicious! They stay great in the freezer and still taste just as fresh as the day they arrived!” – Maxie, from Tempe, AZ brownies.com review

How Long Will My Treats Last

Good question! All our treats are individually wrapped to ensure freshness. Although sometimes they don’t last long enough to store, we do have guidelines. Upon arrival, they will remain fresh for up to 7 days on the counter, 30 days in the refrigerator, and 6 months in the freezer. Transit time IS accounted for.

“They are the perfect size, and you can even freeze them if you want to save them, and they are still amazing!! Usually, they don’t make it that long.” – Karyn from NY, brownies.com review

Phoenix Heat & Brownies

From mid-May to the end of September, the temperatures are a bit toasty in Phoenix. But we haven’t been in the brownie business for 30+ years without learning how to ship our product safely during the summer months.

The average Phoenix temperature in July and August is 106°, and some days the thermometer might reach 112° or more. To ensure your gift arrives at its destination safely, we only ship Monday – Wednesday standard delivery. Gifts are frozen and placed in special insulated packaging with a reusable Fairytale cold pack. The cold pack usually thaws in transit and sometimes the treats might arrive slightly warm. Don’t worry though, they are still safe to consume. Just pop the entire gift into the refrigerator or freezer for a bit and they will firm right up and be ready to enjoy.

Summer Just Got Cooler

While you’re waiting for those treats to thaw – it doesn’t take long – you might decide to create other summer desserts like a creamy milkshake, some brownie skewers, or a brownie ice cream sandwich using Fairytale Brownies. Learn how.
