Chocolate & White Chocolate Brownies From Ellen’s Brownies
Plus Oreo Brownies, Pretzel Brownies & A Beautiful Selection Of Brownie Gift Boxes
CAPSULE REPORT: Beautifully gift-boxed, Ellen’s Brownies are a lovely gift for those who take joy in a sweet, moist, chewy brownie. We especially enjoy the white chocolate brownies.
Caterer Ellen Nachimson developed her delicious brownie recipe some 20 years ago for appreciative clients. There’s been such a demand for the brownies that Ellen and her daughter, Dara Heidt, launched Ellen’s Brownies as a separate business.
Ellen uses top-quality ingredients in her brownies, including free-range eggs and pure extract of vanilla—not imitation. All brownies are peanut-free and made without preservatives, which translates into an excellent product.
The chocolate brownies are a bit on the sweet side for us, though it’s a flavor profile beloved by many Americans. We wish there were a bit less sugar so the other fine ingredients would stand out more. The white chocolate brownies are, surprisingly, less sweet. We prefer them.
The packaging is lovely: stunning keepsake jewelry boxes in a unisex brown-on-brown pattern will be treasured.
Gourmet Brownie Flavors
Ellen’s bakes both chocolate and white chocolate brownies. The chocolate brownies are a mixture of dark and milk chocolate.
The company philosophy is to pack the brownie full of good fixings: dark and milk chocolate chips, crushed pretzels covered in white chocolate and crushed Double Stuf Oreos. All three inclusions (the industry word for mix-ins) are available in both white chocolate and dark/milk chocolate varieties.
White Chocolate Brownies
White chocolate brownies are baked with a choice of chocolate chips, pretzels or Oreos. Surprisingly—and thankfully—the white chocolate brownies are less sweet than their dark/milk chocolate counterparts.

White Chocolate Pretzel Brownie: A white chocolate brownie packed with crushed pretzels. Some tasters were unhappy that the pretzels had lost their crunchiness as a result of sitting in wet batter; others were happy with the pairing.
The white chocolate brownies are our favorites.
