Box Mix Showdown

Comparing two different brands of the same dessert

Many companies will create a box mix for the same dessert with their individual spins on it. You can go into the store looking for a boxed brownie mix and find yourself surrounded by different brands and no way to know which is best. Maybe you’ve tried this brand and liked it but you’ve never ventured to that brand because what if it’s worse? You might have picked a mix for the packaging and you may have picked it for the price but is there any way to know if it is the best or if better is sitting right next to it?
Follow me in this journey where I pickup two brands of the same dessert and compare them side by side to see which one is the better mix.

    I have only encountered two box mix options for Angel food cake near me, Betty Crocker and Duncan Hines. In general, angel food cake is a finicky recipe to make so I assume it is an even harder box mix to create and many other companies are steering clear. With that said, we have to…

  • Trying Rabbit Creek’s million dollar brownie mix

    From Tennessee to my home kitchen, it’s finally time to try out Rabbit Creek’s million dollar brownie mix. Their espresso chip cookie we tried last week was pretty good so let’s see how their other mixes compare. This particular mix is a “million dollar” brownie mix and all that means is that it contains chocolate…

  • Trying a new brand, Rabbit Creek, Espresso chip cookie mix

    Over the holidays I found myself across the country in Tennessee and inside the “world’s largest knife store”. While they did have more knives than a person could ever imagine, they also had some unrelated items such as a full kitchen section. I didn’t mean for it to happen but I stumbled upon some box…
