The Insiders: Betty Crocker

I have been chosen by The Insiders to test some of the Betty Crocker range. The Betty Crocker brand is apparently in their 95th year, yet this will be my first time using any of their products.



I received my Insiders pack containing:


• 1x Velvety Vanilla Icing
• 1x Velvety Vanilla Cake Mix
• 1x Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix
• 1x Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix
• 20x Activity Flyers for half term ideas
• 5x Betty Crocker ‘Baking with Kids’ Recipe cards
• 20x Vouchers for £1 off of all Betty Crocker products
• 1x Campaign Guide (12-page) 




The instructions are easy to follow and the mixes themselves are quick and easy to make. Once they are baked they taste good.


Velvety Vanilla Cake Mix & Velvety Vanilla Icing


Rather than making a full size cake the mix was used to make Halloween themed fairy cakes.












Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix


The Chocolate Fudge Brownies turned out pretty good even if the top was a bit crumbly. It also allowed me to use my Lurpak Brownie tin for the first time.






Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix

The mix says it makes 8 but we only managed to get 5 out of it. We also had to add more water than was listed in the instructions but in the end they turned out fine. I don't know what happened to the chocolate chips.










After being given the opportunity to try out these Betty Crocker products I'm very interested in trying out some of the other mixes in the range especially the Devil's Food Cake Mix and the Classic Coffee Cake Mix. It's also nice to know that Betty Crocker also have a range of Gluten-Free products.

If you are interested in having the opportunity to test the latest products for free and share them with their friends, then just sign up to The Insiders.
