Mugging! Gluten Free Chocolate Brownie Cake from Shirley J

A few weeks ago, I got an email that made me giggle like a little school girl. It was from a company that I had never heard of, asking me if I’d have any interest in trying a couple of their products. The products named were Mugging! Gluten Free Chocolate Brownie Cake and Gluten Free Whisk Bliss, and the company is Shirley J. Well, I checked the links to the website to get an idea of what these products were and I’m telling you that I couldn’t reply fast enough with a resounding YES!

Mugging! Gluten Free Chocolate Brownie Cake is a super quick gluten free brownie mix that you make in individual mugs. This stuff is pure fun! D.D. and I could not wait for this package to arrive. As usual, in the interest of full disclosure: This product was sent to me by Shirley J to try. I am under no obligation to give a favorable review, pander to the company or sell my firstborn.

Betty Crocker Gluten Free Brownie Mix

When I first heard that put out a gluten free brownie mix, I was amazed! I honestly thought I had heard wrong. Well, what is there to do but subject this new product to the Gluten Free Product Review Criteria.

Ease of Use

Betty Crocker Gluten Free Brownie Mix is super easy. Mix 1/2 stick of melted butter and two eggs into the mix. They are not kidding when they say the batter is thick, you can practically mold the stuff (not that I recommend doing that). Then just put the batter in a pan and bake it.

Appearance

These brownies do not rise a whole lot, most gluten free products don't. The size of the pan you use will determine the look of your brownies. Brownies made in an 8x8 pan will be thicker than brownies made in a larger pan. Other than that, they look mighty tasty!

Taste and Texture

Betty Crocker Gluten Free Brownie Mix produces brownies that are warm, dense and fudgy. They are moist and absolutely delicious!

Versatility

The great thing about anything made from batter is that you can easily add to it. Chocolate chips, caramel sauce, marshmallows, nuts or anything else that strikes your fancy. The Betty Crocker website is full of recipe ideas for the gluten free brownie mix. It seems the possibilities are endless.

Overall Value

A whole pan of scrumptious brownies for around $5! Now who can argue with that.

Rating

Delicious! Everyone should buy these.
