Who doesn't love a good brownie?

But what if your favorite treat could be delicious and align with your values at the same time?

That's exactly what we aim for with our brownies, where every ingredient tells a story. We believe that high-quality ingredients are the cornerstone of not just great flavor, but also a feel-good experience that's nourishing for both the body and soul.

By choosing organic cocoa, natural sweeteners, and locally-sourced ingredients, along with decadent Guittard Chocolate and Hutterite farm eggs, we're crafting something truly special.

Join us as we dive into the sweet secrets behind our brownies and explore how these wholesome components make each bite a celebration of taste and nutrition in desserts.

Quality Chocolate Matters at the Core

Choosing High-Quality Ingredients

At the heart of our delicious brownies lies a commitment to using only the finest ingredients. This dedication not only enhances the flavor but also aligns with our values of quality and sustainability.

The Magic of Organic Cocoa

Organic cocoa is the star of our brownie show. It's not just about taste; it's about embracing a holistic approach to baking.

Our organic cocoa is sourced from farms that prioritize sustainable practices. This means no harmful pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, resulting in a purer, more intense chocolate flavor.

The health benefits of organic cocoa are noteworthy. It's rich in antioxidants and flavonoids, which may support heart health and cognitive function. Plus, it's often higher in minerals like iron and magnesium compared to conventional cocoa.

By choosing organic, we're not just crafting a better brownie – we're supporting a healthier planet and promoting fair practices for cocoa farmers.

Guittard Chocolate: Our Foundational Choice

By using Guittard chocolate, we are able to create a mature and deep flavor in the brownies you love. — Guittard and Brownie Ingredients Ready to Assemble

Guittard Chocolate is our go-to for creating our decadent brownie base. This family-owned company has been crafting exceptional chocolate since 1868.

We use Guittard's organic baking wafers for their superior melting properties and rich flavor profile. These wafers are perfect for achieving that fudgy texture we're famous for.

Guittard's commitment to sustainability aligns with our values. They source their cocoa beans ethically and work directly with farmers to ensure fair practices.

Their chocolate isn't just delicious; it's versatile too. We love experimenting with their different varieties in our brownie recipes, from milk chocolate for a sweeter treat to dark chocolate for an intense cocoa hit.

Hutterite Farm Eggs: A Staple

While brownies form the perfect foundation for your Memorial Day dessert spread, consider adding complementary items to create a complete experience. Offer no-melt accompaniments like fresh fruit skewers, chocolate-dipped pretzel rods, or cookies in complementary flavors. Add interactive elements such as a custom toppings bar or a "decorate your own brownie" station for kids. Don't forget about packaging for guests to take treats home - decorative bakery boxes or wax paper bags with custom stickers make for delightful souvenirs, allowing your guests to savor the sweet memories long after the party ends.

Growing up near a Hutterite Colony, we grew to love their fresh-baked bread and more. We are happy to source our eggs from their local business.
