Carla’s Cookie Box dedicates her time to making a difference.
On August 17, 2019, at 4:38 pm on a beautiful sunny day, tragedy struck our family when my brother, Paul Brizzi, was killed by a drunk driver. There isn’t a day that goes by that our family isn’t affected by this tragedy. In June 2020, my eldest daughter was to be the first (of the 2nd generation) in our family to graduate High School. It is just another reminder that Paul will be absent. Couple that with the turn in world events and thousands of students across the country in university, college, grade 8 & 12, missed something that should have been an amazing, a once in a lifetime experience. Our MADD campaign was born out of the necessity to help spread awareness about the perils that surround impaired driving. A FUN Grad t-shirt and a way to raise money and create awareness that Impaired Driving is NEVER an option.

Subscription? Really?
Yes! Really! We have monthly Butter Tart monthly subscriptions!
Our 3-month and 6-month Award Winning Gourmet Butter Tarts Subscriptions makes a GREAT gift
How it Works
When you sign up for a butter tart subscription, we will send you your first month’s subscription right away, or on the date you indicate. Subscriptions will then follow once a month for 3 or 6 consecutive months.
With our subscriptions growing, we have had to split up our monthly deliveries. You will now receive your subscription on either week 1, week 2, week 3, or week 4 of the month, depending on when you purchased your subscription.
For example, if you purchased your subscription on June 13, you will receive your first month’s butter tarts on approximately June 14th (depending on where you live and delivery service. Each subsequent month, you will receive your butter tarts on week 2 of the month, approximately on Thursday or Friday.

Pick plain as your butter tart flavour per month, add a note that your recipient will be emailing me to choose their flavours and go to checkout to complete the payment.

Once you give them their subscription Gift Certificate, your recipient can email us with their six butter tart flavours.
