Trying the new Bettergoods sea salt chocolate chunk cookie mix
Even when I’m not looking for new box mixes, I end up on the baking aisle in every grocery store I am in. Just this last weekend I decided I had too many mixes at home waiting to be baked and I definitely didn’t need to buy anymore. Of course the universe, or Walmart, had… Read more

Testing Betty Crocker’s brand new Soft Baked Cookie mixes
Typically, my method for buying new box mixes consists of going to the store and letting the store tell me what I need. Occasionally, new exciting products are announced or released and I come across dozens of articles about this new product. I get so excited and have to wait weeks or months until it’s… Read more

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… Read more

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… Read more

Trying out Krusteaz’s Almond Poppy Seed muffin mix
While I do favor chocolate based desserts, I know that is not everyone’s cup of tea and only covers a small range of desserts.

Trying out Junket’s Dark Chocolate Gelato box mix
I found a box mix for ice cream, technically gelato, at my local Smith’s and was very surprised, I’ve never seen this before. I do have an ice cream machine and often make homemade ice creams and frozen custards but I haven’t considered a box mix for it. Junket has multiple flavors of ice cream… Read more

Trying out Betty Crocker’s Pineapple upside down cake mix
This review must start with a confession. I have never had pineapple upside down cake. This may seem crazy but let me explain. I have hated pineapple for a long time, the flavor and mouth feel didn’t appeal to me. However, sometime in the last year or two I woke up craving pineapple and suddenly… Read more

Trying out Pillsbury’s – Funfetti – Elf on the Shelf Marshmallow swirl brownie mix
You’ve heard me say it before but I’ll say it again, brownies should be left alone and plain. However, I can’t resist these mixes with the mix-ins. I always hold out hope that one of these mixes will convince me otherwise. So I bought this mix with a heart full of optimism. This is Pillsbury’s… Read more

Trying out “the perfect chocolate chunk cookie mix” by Cravings (a new brand!)
Nothing excites me as much as a new baking brand showing up on the market. More brands means more competition and encourages the old brands to better their product or create new ones to stay relevant. At my local Smiths, I came across a new box mix brand called Cravings by Chrissy Teigen. Upon further… Read more

Trying out Elia’s Olive Oil Cake mix
Believe it or not, I wasn’t looking for any box mixes when I stumbled upon this strange mix. I was on a hunt for Hershey kisses at my local grocery outlet and couldn’t find them anywhere. I ran into a friend who worked there and he offered to check the back to see if he… Read more
