Killer Brownie packaging

Killer Brownie is debuting a new look and motto, “Live a Little,” for its brand.

After more than 40 years, the company is transforming its image with new packaging and a fresh marketing approach.

“The bakery section hasn’t seen a lot of change – and for a long time, that was just fine. But today’s consumer is looking for more,” said Chimene Mayne-Ross, founder and CEO of Killer Brownie.

“Killer Brownie is here to bring bold flavor, unapologetic indulgence and a loud brand personality. We’re not just introducing something new – we’re making the bakery section a destination, giving people something they’ll be excited to seek out.”

According to the company, Killer Brownie’s rebrand is rooted in four core characteristics: “unapologetic, rebellious, confident and mischievous.” This comes to life through eye-catching packaging that makes a statement in the bakery. Featuring a signature bright blue color and bold typography, the new look is designed to draw consumers in.

At the heart of the rebrand is the new motto, “Live a Little,” inviting fans to embrace indulgence.

“Killer Brownie is more than just a dessert; it’s an experience,” said Raouf Moussa, chief growth officer at Irresistible Foods Group.

“We’re building on the brand’s impressive legacy of flavor and bringing it to life in a way that can’t be ignored. By combining bold marketing with dynamic in-store presence, we’re giving fans a new reason to get excited about dessert.”

Founded in 1988 at Dorothy Lane Market in Dayton, Ohio, Killer Brownie began as a “best-kept secret,” an item made with rich layers and high-quality ingredients. Over the years, its flavors and loyal social following have transformed it beyond a local favorite.

Through its partnership with Irresistible Foods Group, Killer Brownie is expanding to more than 15,000 retail doors and launching direct-to-consumer availability on KillerBrownie.com for the first time.
