Soopz: ‘Foodie Bride’ Makes Dulce de Leche Brownies

February 5th
2008

More people are getting the jars of peanut butter dulce de leche that I mailed out last week. I love to see what y’all are doing with your jars (like Dave). I’m sure most of you are just eating it right out of the jar (like me), but some of you are taking it to a new level.

I sent a jar to Foodie Bride and she made brownies with it. OMG! Check it out!

I’d like to take this moment and say thanks to Foodie Bride (Shawnda). Thanks for your interest. Thanks for making something amazing with something I made. Thanks for blogging about it (and sending your readers to this blog).

This is what I love about blogs. They’re bringing us all closer together. I have about 80 more friends (Sooper Heroes) now than I had just a week ago.

I’ve had close to 100 requests for dulce (in just 5 days!). I wonder how many people I could have gotten into a brick and mortar store in the same time? I doubt 100 and I doubt for as cheaply (blogging’s virtually free).

I’ve spoken to another Sooper Hero, and he’s doing something completely different (but totally him). I won’t tell you what it is until he posts about it, but let me just say that it’s not a dessert. In fact, it’s not sweet at all.

I’ll be posting more updates as more of the first mail out gets blogged about. In the meantime, get ready for round 2. I’ll be working all weekend on another round of PB DDL, plus experimenting with a few more flavors of DDL (banana and marshmallow cream) and making something completely different - Blake Makes Mini Moments.

I’ve got quite a long list of Sooper Heroes amassing, and that’s great! I’m super excited.

I already told you guys that we have our first Sooper Company, and today I got another. Pretty soon, there’s going to be a ton of food going out the door and into your mailboxes.

Get ready because we’re just getting started.

BTW, more info is coming on Soopz and Blakeville. I’m pulling together the content for those pages, and you’ll be able to read it soon by clicking the tabs at the top of this page.

Whew! Stay tuned! bk

  • You’re most welcome! We really, really liked the dulce - it made the world’s best brownies even better. We look forward to seeing what you’ll come up with next!

  • I got my sample! My husband couldn’t resist opening it the minute he saw it and taking a generous glob out on his finger, thus making my toddler want to do the exact same thing - both of them then sighed “mmmmmmmmmmmmm” while clammoring to the jar for more. I had to hide it from *both* of them or else I wouldn’t have any left to actually USE for something!

  • I found out about Blake from Foodie Bride. The brownies looked soooo good I just had to find out who this Blake guy was!

  • That must be the coolest thing, to have someone make something wonderful out something you made. Frosting on the cake?

  • Seeing as you’re currently holding my copies of Extras hostage, I feel like I need to be added to this Jar O’Dulce list, if only to have something to snack on during Gladiators. Additionally, I will totally bake up some french macaroons and glue them together with dulce and bring them over one day.

  • Hi,
    I found your site through Shawnda’s post and was just thinking how this seems to be a great place to get a product introduced, word of mouth via blog posts is incredible, and then I clicked on your site to see your hundred orders for more PBDDL! Thats incredible! (and exciting). I”ll definitely be checking back from time to time to see how things are going.

  • Lorinda, you are exactly right. It’s one thing for people to like what I made, it’s another (even better) thing for people to love it and make something new that I love.

    Aimes, I had your macaroons at the Christmas cookie swap, they were yummy! This is a great idea, dulce macaroons. I was going to send you a jar of the first batch, but I had no idea they would go so fast (and that so many people would be interested).

    Hello, Miss Emma. Love your site! Word of mouth through blog posts is what Soopz is all about. Keep checking back because we have some amazing things coming down the tube for Soopz. I’m very excited to see where things go with that idea. I’ll let you know when the next batch of PBDDL is ready, and I’ll send you some!

    Sending all of you lots of love! :) bk

  • This recipe does sound very, very good & hope to try it myself if (or when) I can get PBDDL!
