Aaron Brilliant, owner of Big Cookie, describes himself as “The Cookieman.” Before becoming a baker, Brilliant earned a living as an engineer who had a creative side he didn’t get to explore often. After realizing how much he enjoyed making things, Brilliant took his hobby of baking for friends and crafted it into his new career. Thus, Big Cookie was born.
Brilliant stresses his cookie creations aren’t made in mass quantity; instead, each chewy, tasty piece is baked in a cozy workshop in Morgantown, Pennsylvania, ensuring each bite you take is flavorful and fresh.
“This allows me to focus on quality and taste so that you will love them every time,” Brilliant says.
So, how big are these delicious cookies? Three and a half inches wide, and a dozen come in every order, totaling over two pounds of cookies! Birthday or wedding guests will enjoy a giant baked good made of natural and premium ingredients that is sure to fill them up.

If you still crave more delicious treats after the last bite of your dozen Big Cookies, Brilliant has set up a points reward system to encourage customers to come back for more. Enjoy so many dollars off for each level you reach, making each event big or small that much tastier!

Gourmet foods made with all natural, fresh ingredients are currently big sellers in the food industry. Foodies — self-proclaimed food fanatics — jump on the opportunity of finding new treats they can add to their pantry and refrigerator.
Delicae Gourmet is dedicated to making all-natural gourmet foods, made with only the freshest fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices straight from their gardens. Your customers will love their unique, flavorful blends in everything they make!
The company started in 1994 after co-founders Barbara and Lenny Macaluso decided to take a break from their day jobs in the music industry.
Lenny was a touring guitarist for famed singer-songwriter Tina Turner, and Barbara was part of a promotion company that was involved in the Beatles’ 1964 U.S. tour. They started the company together from their country estate in Florida, where they began cultivating their own gardens and orchards.
In fact, it was Barbara’s knack for creating great sauces and condiments that really got the company moving into the gourmet food industry.
Jams are another great offering from this company and come in spicy, sweet, and savory flavors. They have many different varieties of jalapeno jams and jellies, but if you’re looking for something a little more spirited, check out their pina colada, strawberry sangria, and raspberry liqueur jams.
The company is now offering more than just sauces and spices, thanks to their slow cooker dinners and soups.
Their slow cooker dinners are flavorful and easy to prepare, taking no more than five minutes to make each meal. Just add your meats, and your delicious dish is ready to go!
The slow cooker soups are just as simple and come in flavors like Caribbean Black Bean Soup, Grandpa’s Favorite Beef Barley Soup, and Luck of the Irish Potato Leek Soup.
They also have new fruit & wine infused balsamic glazes. They can be used as sauces for grilled meats, poultry, and seafood. You can even use them over desserts, like ice cream, pound cake, and fresh fruit!
Delicae Gourmet doesn’t mess around when it comes to big flavors and fresh ingredients. Customers will love the variety, healthiness, and wholesomeness available from them!
That’s why G&D Foods, LLC. has committed to making the most delectable treats with the best ingredients they can find. And their most famous product, ZuZu’s Praline Candy Mix, has made their treats a hot commodity among Cajun Country and beyond.
Started in 2009 by husband and wife duo Gwen and Dwight Gilliland, G&D is located in the heart of Cajun Country, New Iberia, Louisiana.
After 30 years of making cakes at Occasions Cakes, Gwen decided it was time to retire that part of her life and start a new journey. She brought many of the techniques and recipes from Occasions into G&D, and developed their one-of-a-kind praline mix.
What makes ZuZu’s Praline Mix different from its competitors is its ease of use. Traditionally, praline mix recipes are seen as unreliable, as most of them are vague in their instructions, or temperamental in the process of cooking them.
With ZuZu’s mix, customers don’t have to worry about their praline creations having disappointing results. The results always turn out perfect!
Not only is it the world’s first praline candy mix, it’s also very simple to use. So even the most inexperienced of cooks can create perfect praline candies!
G&D boasts that their products are the creamiest, smoothest, most buttery, delicious, high quality pralines you will ever eat. And the results speak for themselves!
And if you think the praline mix is limited to just making candy, think again! Their praline mix can also make delicious toppings for sticky buns, cake filling, teriyaki sauce, and even buffalo hot sauce! These recipes are available for free on their website.
If your customers have been looking for a delicious and easy praline mix, tell them to look no further. G&D Foods LLC has exactly what they’ve been looking for!
The business started in 1997, offering just six products — three kinds of caramel corn and three flavors of glazed nuts — but has grown into a thriving business, now offering more than 50 unique products.

Lyfonda Farm has a great selection of snacks, such as nuts and dried fruits, and works to provide fresh snacking options for all ages.
They also have soups, both foreign and domestic. These include the spicy Caribbean flavors of the Cuban Garbanzo Bean Soup and the Tuscan Bean and Vegetable Soup. Each soup mix is packaged in a beautiful bag, highlighting all the different cultures represented by their soups!
And if bread is what you love, then check out their selection! Rye bread, jalapeno cheese, and bacon and herb are just some of the mixes available.

Their most famous snack is the Dew Drop, a Lyfonda Farm original that takes sunflower seeds and covers them in a delicious multicolored chocolate coating.
And for a healthier snack option, check out their dried fruit selection. Dried apricots, banana chips, crystallized ginger, and dried papaya are just some of the decadent fruit choices available.
So, if food enthusiasts are who you’re trying to please, Pacific Northwest Gourmet Foods/Lyfonda Farm offer products that are both fresh and delicious!
At Bouchard Family Farms, buckwheat is used in all of their baking mixes, from flours to pancake mixes, and hearken back to a time when the plant was used to create delicious, and healthy baked goods!
Contrary to popular belief, buckwheat is not actually a grain, but an herb or fruit, very closely related to wild rhubarb. The word “buckwheat” comes from a Dutch word that means beech wheat, and refers to the fruit of the buckwheat, which resembles a tiny beech nut. This misnomer is what confuses people who hear about buckwheat. It also surprises those who don’t know that the buckwheat is naturally gluten free; which is contrary to most “wheats” and “grains.”
The buckwheat flour grown on the farm is used to make a traditional French Acadian flatbread known as a ploye. Their ployes are made from buckwheat flour, wheat flour, aluminum free baking powder and salt. Because of the specific ingredients used in ployes, they are both gluten free (thanks to the buckwheat flour) and also vegan friendly (no eggs, milk, or oils are used in the mix!)
Gluten free diets are becoming a popular and necessary restriction for many people, and your customers will love finding this option available in your store!
If your customers are pancake lovers (and I’m sure they are), they’ll love Bouchard Family Farms ployes mix. These mixes are perfect for pancakes, and are available in both an original and whole wheat buckwheat mix.
And if you’re looking to sell the perfect gift for cooks coming to your store, they have two gift packages available. The blueberry gift package includes a 24 oz. bag of regular ployes mix, another 24 oz. bag of whole wheat ployes mix, and a 10 oz. jar of original wild blueberry topping!
Their maple syrup gift package contains the same mixes as the blueberry package, but instead of blueberry topping, it includes a 8.45 oz. jar of pure maple syrup! It’s the perfect gift for flapjack fans!
So, if your customers want gluten free, vegan friendly, and delicious baking mixes, they’ll find exactly what they need thanks to the family business at Bouchard Family Farms!
