Baking for the Holidays with Pillsbury *Review & Giveaway*

It’s getting close to that time a year again. You know the time of year where you bake, and bake, and then bake some more. You make all those tucked away recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation. You know the time of year, its holiday time! I think to myself, Yay, what a fun time of the year.

You know though that you don’t have to wait until the holidays to get down and dirty and bake away. I don’t know about you, but I love to bake, and even more so I like to eat what I bake. Now, even though I love to bake, that doesn’t mean I always want to break out the family recipes, sometimes I just want something that is quick, easy and still tastes really good. This is when the boxed cake mixes, brownie mixes, and cookie mixes come in.

I recently had a chance to review some Pillsbury baking products, and I have to say they were delicious. Pillsbury has several new baking products available just in time for the holidays, or just to make on a Saturday morning with the kids.

• Mocha Fudge and Dark Chocolate Pillsbury Brownie Mixes
• Pillsbury Cookie Mixes in Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Funfetti and Sugar Cookie
• Sugar-Free Moist Supreme® Cake Mix in Classic Yellow and Devil’s Food
• Sugar-Free Brownie Mix in Chocolate Fudge and Milk Chocolate
• Pillsbury Sugar Free Creamy Supreme® Frosting in Chocolate Fudge and Vanilla

What I had a chance to review was:

• Mocha Fudge and Dark Chocolate Pillsbury Brownie Mixes
• Pillsbury Cookie Mixes in Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Funfetti and Sugar Cookie

I’m not really sure how to explain how good they were. I love chocolate, and the brownie mixes created within me such a delectable, wanting more sensation that I could have eaten all of them in one sitting! I didn’t, and my stomach thanks me, but I know I just wanted more. They were especially good right out of the oven.

The cookies were just as good. The kids devoured them almost immediately after coming out of the oven. My kids aren’t really kids anymore, they are 25,23,20,16 but when it comes to cookies they act like they are 5, and my 81 year old father is even worse than the kids. He absolutely loved the Chocolate Chip.

I give thumbs up to Pillsbury for introducing some wonderful and delicious new products. If you are a Pillsbury fan already, then you’ll like what I’m about to tell you, and if you haven’t had a chance to try Pillsbury’s baking products, I encourage you to do so, and you’ll like what I’m about to tell you also.
