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.

  • Comparing Duncan Hines New Peeps box mixes

    Brand new to the market we have a Duncan Hines “peeps” line of box mixes. They just released a cake mix, a frosting, and a cupcake kit. I’m a sucker for peeps, they’re one of my favorite seasonal treats, so I knew I had to pick these mixes up as soon as they hit stores…

  • Testing out Kroger’s No Bake Cheesecake mix

    Cheesecake is one of those desserts that is absolutely worth making homemade but takes so much time and effort that I would rather settle for a no-bake cheesecake. I honestly feel like no-bake and regular cheesecake are two different desserts. Both good and similar in flavor, but more like cousins than siblings. When I crave…

  • Trying out Lehi Mills’ double fudge brownie mix

    I’ve only tried Lehi Mills once and they had a phenomenal raspberry muffin. Their muffin mixes are the only products I’ve seen in my area and during their black Friday sales I learned they have many many more mixes sold online and in various stores. I missed the sale cutoff and tabled the idea to…
