They're shrinkflating products that taste watered down with bugs in their mixes. Which isn't vegetarian-friendly. Recipe instructions on their boxes don't work anymore since the mixes have been shrinkflated to hell. I won't be buying Betty Crocker products no more. Their cookbooks are scams to make you buy the ruined food products that used to taste much better with workable recipes. America is going downhill. It's sad.

I am going to stop using Betty Crocker cake mixes. The company is cheating its customers with the weight of the cake mixes. Previously the box of cake mix was 18 ozs, then it went down to 15 ozs, & now its down to 13ozs. Yet the directions on the present box is still the same as if it weighed 18 ozs., and the prices keep increasing with less ingredients. The company DOES NOT take into account past recipes that were made with an 18oz ingredient cake box, and they do NOT give any recipes/ideas of how to remedy the situation. You cannot make a 2 layer cake anymore from a box of cake mix. The taste has also changed with very little flavour in a vanilla (or any) cake mix. Customers should boycott buying the products. I would NOT recommend them.

A product that might suit a first endeavour in biscuit (cookie) making for for children. Success is virtually guaranteed, the biscuits are quite edible, but... You pay £2 for a pack of mix that produces 6 or 7 biscuits, it costs energy to bake them, and you oblige yourself to wash a mixing bowl, a rolling pin, a cookie cutter, and a worktop or rolling sheet, a mixing spoon and a baking sheet/tray, all to make 7 cookies. Tesco's chocolate chip cookies cost 85p for three, there's no (direct) energy cost, but for the cost equivalent of this mix, you get about 25 Tesco ones, and avoid the washing up... As an exercise in teaching a child a simple, first, baking exercise, it's OK, but without the measuring and weighing, it's a simplistic exercise... But success is virtually inevitable...
