Killer Brownies: Glorious and Decadently Delicious

If you are craving a certified kosher decadent dessert or an outrageous gift for any occasion, your search is over. The Killer Brownie Company makes OU-certified dairy products (only prepackaged brownies would be considered Kosher) that are so good, it’s no wonder they announce on their website that their mission is “specializing in joy and forever focused on bringing you the sweet life.”

“The Killer Brownie Company crafts gooey gourmet brownies with a focus on clean ingredients like sustainably sourced cocoa, hormone-free butter, and unbleached and unbromated flour. It’s our goal to create products that bring moments of real joy to our customers,” says Chimene Mayne Ross, the company’s president, and chief customer officer. This supports their mission of creating joyful brownie experiences!
 

She’s not wrong. Her products have been recognized nationally, which means it’s not just my imagination. This is really a trending food sensation.

Available Nation-Wide

The story began over 30 years ago, when Ms. Ross’s father, who ran a Dayton, Ohio-based specialty-food supermarket, brought home a small brown bag and said, “Try that; it’s a killer brownie.” 

With its new name secured, the dessert was soon being produced at their bakery, much to the delight of their customers, and its popularity continued to grow. 

In 2013, Ms. Ross left her nursing career to take the helm of a new section of the family business focusing on sales and growth for The Killer Brownie. She became President and made the delectable treat a brand of its own. 

As of 2020, it was available not only online but also in 1,500 bakeries and food-service operations across the United States.

Many Varieties

I was impressed with the wide variety of brownies offered by the company, something for every taste, beginning with the Original which has layers of rich fudgy brownie mixed with crunchy pecans surrounding a caramel center that’s sprinkled with chocolate chips, and branching out to more exotic offerings with mouth-watering names including Triple Chocolate, Confetti, Cookie Dough, Peanut Butter, Salted Caramel, Raspberry, Cookies and Cream, German Chocolate, and Blonde Ambition.

My hardest decision was picking which brownie to sample first. Trust me: none was a disappointment. Each brownie was a mouthful of richness, and the moist consistency was just right. 

Designer Desserts

Each substantial Killer Brownie has at least three layers, designed to alternate fudgy cake, often with crunchy pecans or chocolate chips mixed in, with a lusciously gooey caramel center.

The brand’s Cookie Dough variation combines two classics: chocolate chip cookies and brownies, in multiple layers of fudge dough, caramel, and chocolate chips topping a soft chocolate chip base. 

And there are non-chocolate options as well, such as Confetti, which is a blondie layered with caramel, white chocolate chips, and lots of colorful sprinkles. 

My two favorites are Peanut Butter, which combines a layer of creamiest peanut butter atop melt-in-your-mouth caramel surrounded by a fudgy brownie with salty roasted peanuts; and the above-mentioned Confetti which reminded me of a birthday cake in both flavor and appearance.

Beautiful Product

The symmetry of the products makes them look as good as they taste, resulting in perfect plate-appeal presented in layered perfection. 

Beautifully constructed and fun to eat, they will remind you of a time when you could look into store windows with displays of fudge in every imaginable color and flavor.

As opposed to my experience with other brownies, which have often left me dissatisfied either because the flavor was too sweet or the consistency too sticky, I found that a small slice of The Killer Brownie supplied a flavor blast sufficient to satisfy my sweet tooth cravings. I truly enjoyed the eating experience, noting the blend of complementary flavors, colors, and consistency.

Perfect for Shavuoth

The Killer Brownie’s difference lies in the level of care and creativity lavished on the product by the creators, and the combinations of amazing flavors can’t be beaten. The time taken by the Mayne family to recruit a talented team has paid off in brownies that pair sweet with salty, mix textures and colors, and end with just the right blend. In fact, each package of The Killer Brownie should come with a warning and instructions: eat with caution and best served warm with a glass of milk.  

They would make the best non-traditional gift for the person who has everything, including good taste.  

With Shavuoth coming, a holiday centered on dairy desserts, The Killer Brownie could be the perfect complement for your Yom Tov table or as a tasty snack during the all-night learning.
