Blue Ridge Bakery Introduction

Gourmet Brownies or Chocolate Truffles?

We—Laura and Roger Beal—are longtime foodies. Both Americans, we met and married while living in Montreal. If you don't get religion for food in that city, you never will! We sampled desserts from all over the world and loved them all. Coincidentally, most of them contained chocolate.

We started making these desserts for friends and family. However, we found that a long-treasured, carefully-crafted-and-tweaked brownie recipe continually elicited swoons over the years. “You ought to SELL these!” was often heard. The true validation came when Laura made a batch of Triple Espresso Brownies and brought them to the International Fancy Food and Confection Show in New York City a few years ago.

Then sales manager for a line of packaged specialty foods, Laura was offering small brownie squares to select customers to thank them for their business. She lost count of how many times customers snapped up the brownie, then said, “WHERE ARE YOU SELLING THESE? WHERE CAN I ORDER THEM?” (Thank goodness Laura's former boss was on the other side of the booth!) When so many longtime retailers—many of whom had sampled a sea of goods over the years—gave such a positive response, we knew we were onto something that definitely wasn’t “half baked.”

We moved to the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia in 1999, and that move proved truly inspirational. We created more brownie flavors plus a pair of energy squares, resulting in ecstatic customer responses and many reorders from retailers.

What Makes Blue Ridge Brownies Unique?

You’ll find many bakers offering their brownies online. To be sure, their products are good. But when you compare taste and texture, nothing matches the truffle quality of Blue Ridge Bakery’s brownies! The velvety mouth feel, dense texture, and intense, unrelenting flavor are captivating chocoholics from Northern California to North Carolina!

Non-chocolate alternatives: Energy Squares and Blondies

Many customers have asked us for a high-quality baked treat to enjoy with breakfast, or with a cup of tea. Others are looking for a “portable meal” that can be eaten on the road or trail, as a quick and easy meal substitute. So we’ve crafted a family of “blondies”—rich and flavorful squares that provide all the pleasure without the chocolate!

We’ve also introduced intensely flavorful, chewy energy squares, with a multi-nut and rolled oat content that gives you a big-tasting, high-carb slow burn. Perfect for commuters, motorcyclists, bicyclists and hikers!

Blue Ridge Bakery’s white chocolate squares offer a uniquely delicious alternative to the traditional brownie. With a luxurious, buttery-smooth texture, and special ingredients such as pistachios, dark chocolate chips, pecans, or whole dried cherries, these goodies will soon become a favorite at your house.

And for folks who have to control their sugar intake, Blue Ridge Bakery has perfected brownies sweetened with fructose.

So join the ranks of our satisfied customers and take a look at our selection of gourmet brownies and more... you can’t “fudge” on good taste, after all! Indulge yourself and celebrate life!
