My baby girl's birthday is today! Happy 1st Birthday, Munchkin! Mommy loves you to the moon and back. Mommy also loves brownies. Those are the little brown things you've seen Mommy put in her mouth on a regular basis. I may have even dropped a crumb or two on you while you nursed. Sorry about that.
Every so often, I come across a company with a great name, and then I'm just beside myself when their customer service and products are great too.
Introducing:
Fat Witch. Haaa! I love saying that name. Call me silly, but it just makes me smile. And their brownies make me satisfied. Quite satisfied.
Fat Witch sent me a sampler tin filled with Baby Witches - individually wrapped, bite-sized chocolate, walnut, and blondie brownies that I didn't feel guilty indulging in. Well, only when I ate about five of them back-to-back. Or was it six? Oh, who's counting. Moist, chocolate, and yummy - I lost count when I was overcome by sweet goodness. Bonus - the brownies are made with no preservatives, and natural ingredients, if you care about that sort of thing. I even love the tin they came in - a reusable white tin with an adorable witch sketch. Fat Witch also sent us their white chocolate brownie mix to sample. Gotta love a family activity that's edible.
Fat Witch has been featured on Oprah's Favorite Things List, Food Network, Today Show, CBS, CNN, NY Times, Reader's Digest, and many others. Yep, the world is being overcome by witches. How's this for one of their mottos:
"Life is too serious to be taken seriously." Truer words were never spoken. And I'm seriously addicted to brownies.
A deliciously perfect gift for someone's special day, or treat yourself for no reason at all. And, I'll just state the obvious - a great surprise gift for Halloween!
Fat Witch. Ha! I just had to say that name again.

Seriously, why do you make us choose these things? Red Witch? Caramel Witch? Java Witch? I'd gladly take any of those three (or all). Yum!
