Trying out Pillsbury’s – Funffetti – Elf of the Shelf Hot Cocoa Cookie mix
Christmas cookie season is my favorite season, I always overdo it and end up baking 10 or more varieties of cookies and gifting them to friends, family, and even acquaintances because I make way too many. I always intend to make less but there are too many good cookies that only come out once a… Read more

To break up some of the fall foods, I wanted to throw in something I have super high hopes for. We haven’t had any additions to our brownies in a while so it’s time to try out a brownie cookie bar, specifically a peanut butter cookie and brownie bar by Betty Crocker. Peanut butter and… Read more

Trying out Libby’s Pumpkin Bread box mix
After our disaster a few weeks ago with Jello’s “pumpkin flavored” pie, I was overly excited to find Libby’s Pumpkin Bread box mix in the stores that includes a can of pumpkin puree. When I first found this box mix, I was at a Safeway out of state with no room in my luggage to… Read more

Testing out Betty Crocker’s Batchables fudge brownie mix
Betty Crocker came out with muffin, cookie, and brownie mixes called “batchables” and the slogan is “make a lot or a little.” It’s designed in a reusable tub that you can seal up after each use to keep your baking mix fresh. You can make as few as 4 or as many as an 8×8… Read more

Trying out Pillsbury perfectly pumpkin cookie mix
Pumpkin is an amazing addition to cookies because the puree keeps the cookies extra moist and soft. You can’t go wrong with a pumpkin cookie (unless you don’t like pumpkin) and chocolate chips are the perfect addition to bring it to the next level. When I found this mix I knew we had to see… Read more

Trying out Jello’s pumpkin style pie no bake box mix

True pumpkin flavor reigns supreme over pumpkin spice so pumpkin pie is the ultimate dessert for this time of year. I have never thought of a no bake pumpkin pie being possible so this box mix seems genius. I’ve never… Read more

Trying out Krusteaz’s Triple Chocolate Chunk Cookie mix
When it comes to chocolate chip cookies, every baker has their own version. You can make a chocolate chip cookie in so many different ways and still at it’s core, it’s a great cookie. Even bad chocolate chip cookies are good. But here, we are looking for the best, not the worst. Together we have… Read more

Testing out Duncan Hines’ Golden Fudge Easy Cake Kit
My background is primarily in cake making and decorating so I have absolutely dabbled in box mix cakes but it has been awhile, everything I make now is from scratch so box mix cakes are few and far between for me. Being in the cake industry, I know that it’s not cheap to buy or… Read more

Trying out Betty Crocker’s Supreme Lemon bar mix
Following our previous attempt at lemon bar box mixes with Krusteaz’s box mix, my hopes were high when I picked up this lemon bar mix from Betty Crocker. In my area, these are the only two lemon bar box mixes that I could find so I took to the internet to find out more and… Read more

Trying out Krusteaz’s Snickerdoodle cookie box mix
Before this blog journey, I hadn’t used any cookie box mixes. I have been making cookies from scratch for as long as I can remember so for me, mixing up cookie dough is so easy that I don’t think twice. I always have the ingredients on hand and can whip them up in a few… Read more
