This year for Christmas we're giving my niece an Easy Bake Oven...Now, the cost of the Easy Bake isn't in the oven itself, but in all those little packets of mix. In addition to the oven and one of the add-on kits, I decided to make up a bunch of mixes for her to use. So here are the five mixes I've made... Chocolate Chip Cookie mix, Chocolate Cake mix, White Cake mix, Chocolate icing mix and White icing mix. All five have labels with the directions on them right on the container so no need to hunt up directions. And each container makes at least 8 batches, so there's plenty to work with. I'm posting both the recipes for the mixes and
the Word document with the labels in it here if you should want to use them for your own gift or personal use... Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
Three of these recipes are from the
Budget 101 website and a couple are my own versions of other mixes...
