Aunt Jemima+Duncan Hines Review and Giveaway

Cake is one of my favorite things in the world. It's VERY hard for me to turn down a piece of cake, especially chocolate. Everyone knows chocolate is my weakness. I also love waffles for breakfast too. When I had the chance to review two foods that I really enjoy, of course I jumped on the offer.


Everyone is aware of Duncan Hines and Aunt Jemima, they are two very successful companies.

I received a free product coupon for any Aunt Jemima product. I went to the store yesterday and walked right over to the frozen food section. There were more AJ products then I realized. Did I want chocolate chip or blueberry waffles? French toast sticks? No, maybe I wanted plain pancakes...this decision was harder than I expected it to be. I finally settled on plain low-fat waffles. I had them for breakfast this morning.



Frozen waffles are easy. Yes, it's always nicer to probably make your own waffles but when you have busy mornings like I do, it's nice to have something quick that you just pop in the toaster. I toasted the waffles just right and they came out crisp and hot. Paired with a little syrup, they were delicious. I also felt better about myself by making a low-fat food decision.

Duncan Hines sent me some products from their newest line. I received a box of cake mix and a chocolate Amazing Glazes.

(Seriously, doesn't this picture practically want to make you lick your computer screen?)

The mix was triple chocolate. The box says "with real chocolate chunks and rich fudge." Ohhhhh WOW. Talk about triple deliciousness. The box has brown and reddish brown tones to it. The colors plus the amazing looking cake on the box draws you in and makes you want to purchase the mix. This mix is like any other mix where it requires water, eggs, and vegetable oil. There is a recipe on the bottom of the box for molten chocolate cupcakes that look extremely drool-worthy. This cake was out of this world. It was seriously the best cake I've ever made from a mix. It was fudgy, rich, creamy, and so delicious. I had a bite right out of the oven and it was practically a little piece of heaven on a fork!

The other new cake flavors in this line are Caramel Apple and Carrot.


Amazing Glazes comes in either vanilla or chocolate. I was sent chocolate for this one as well. I didn't even tell the person that I worked with on this review that I was a chocolate fan, they must have sensed it!



The vanilla glaze that is also new in the DH line.


This product is intended for the microwave. You microwave it on high for 35 seconds and then pour over your favorite pie, cake, brownie, cookie, or pastry. You have to be careful to not overheat it though. You can stick the bottle in the fridge and use it over and over too. The glaze will set in minutes. I am not sure how this is with ice cream though. I haven't tried it so I can't recommend it. I used this glaze on a large yellow cake I made for a party. It was very easy to pour and the glaze didn't come out too fast and was easy to control. It set within about a minute and a half. I let the glaze set and I later brought the cake to the party. Everyone loved the cake and complimented me on it. They asked the recipe for the glaze, I told them Duncan Hines! They were extremely surprised, they thought it had a great home-made taste to it. Yum, I can't wait to try the vanilla glaze in the future too!
