Krusteaz Honey Cornbread & Muffin Mix Review

Nothing goes better with BBQ ribs and baked beans than freshly baked cornbread coated in rich, creamy butter.  I sometimes make my own from scratch, sometimes whip up some Jiffy, but I recently discovered the 15oz. box of Krusteaz Honey Cornbread & Muffin Mix made with real honey.      

My Viewpoint

The flavor of Krusteaz Honey Cornbread is not surprisingly, tasty. The honey flavor (honey powder is listed as an ingredient) is mild and not overpowering. The cornbread's texture is moist, not dry like cheaper brands, and almost cake-like.  Of course I added my own ingredients to the mix: a teaspoon of nutmeg, and a hint of allspice.  

Krusteaz Honey Cornbread is a simple cornbread mix making it easy to prepare.  To make the basic recipe, add to the mix is 2/3 cups of milk, 1/3 cup of vegetable oil, and 1 Lg. egg.  On the side and back of the box are two more recipes to spice up the cornbread and turn the mix into a full meal; Bacon & Cheddar Mini Corn Loaves anyone?

I highly recommend Krusteaz Honey Cornbread & Muffin Mix; for $1.59 a package (at my local Super Target) they are a bargain.  Yes Jiffy Corn Muffin mix costs half the price, but Krusteaz Honey Cornbread Mix is markedly better.
