Now more than ever, it is crucial to support small businesses. There are countless businesses that are run completely online, meaning you can access them no matter where you live in the U.S. So many businesses are whipping up creative confections that are sometimes over the top, but always delicious. My sister’s birthday is coming up and I wanted to order her something that wowed her, but she can be picky. The one thing I knew she would appreciate would be food. I did some research on a few companies and this is what I found.
Fat and Weird Cookie
Fat and Weird cookies are exactly how they sound. The flavors sound too good to be true. These cookies are FAT, especially if you order MEGA Cookies, weighing in at 1 pound each. The MEGA Cookies are giant versions of their classic cookies in the same legendary flavors. All the cookies have crazy names to match the out-of-the box flavors. Their current flavors include the Party Animal, an almond based cookie stuffed with goodies like frosted animal cookies, frosting, and sprinkles. For a more in depth review of some of their classic favors check out this article. Cookies are available in packs of 3, 4, or 6. You can order Fat and Weird Cookies every Sunday at 9 pm eastern time. They sell out quickly, so be sure to know what you want when you go to order. Set you alarms and order here.
Buckeye Brownies
If you’re a fan of over-the-top desserts, Buckeye Brownies are for you. Buckeye Brownies sells brownie squares bigger than your hand that weigh ½ pound each. You can also order a brownie cake complete with a personalized message. Each month Buckeye Brownies releases a limited edition pack with 2 unique flavors. Just one example of an innovative flavor available is Lemon Haze, a blondie layered with lemon Oreos, topped with more lemon cookies, dried blueberries and turbinado sugar. Buckeye Brownies also puts their own spin on classic flavors like snickerdoodle, peanut butter, and birthday cake. Order now here.
