Duncan Hines Mug Cakes Cinnamon Coffee Cake Mix, 4 - 2.58 oz Pouches

My grandsons love this stuff - but it's super not healthy - so only once in awhile... You add water, mix and cook in the microwave for about a minute - includes frosting. Easy - but full of chemicals. Eh. Not available locally so I end up buying online. Maybe there's a reason. Having said all of this, I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful.

These brownies taste amazing and the best part is? Drum Roll, Please.....they are super easy and quick. The price makes these the perfect snack. Can We Say Chocolate? Yes, Please!!!

By reading all of the reviews I was very curious to make this…..I had surgery weeks ago with a ruptured Achilles tendon so I have not been able to go shopping or drive for approximately two months. I’ve been relying upon Amazon to deliver some of the special-needs like chocolate to me LOL.I took a lot of pictures in sequence of preparation and eating.Listening to some reviews mention that it did not rise much at all so I added some baking soda approximate quarter teaspoon. I also added some vanilla into the 2 tablespoons of milk. Mixed it up thoroughly and you see that in the first picture.I put it on for exactly 55 seconds. It rose quite a bit and let it sit. As I was eating my dinner I let it cool off for a little bit. But I was dying to have warm gooey spoonfuls of chocolate brownie that I’ve been craving for weeks.My First ReactionThe taste was a little off. It definitely needed more chocolate flavor. But something strange happened after I had a few more spoonfuls it started growing on me and tasted really good.TextureThis surprise me…the texture was perfect. It was gooey, but firm enough. As you can see in one of the spoonfuls the liquid was a yummy combination of caramel and chocolate.ValueWas exceptionalFlavor—My first biteThis was a disappointment. The flavor was off a little. Not enough chocolate flavor. Could be just a tiny bit sweeter for my taste, but others might say it’s perfect.The texture was perfect which surprised me.Portion SizeWas perfect. The texture of the brownie was filling enough to where you wouldn’t want anything more but maybe a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

The brownie has a great taste however 1 packet only makes maybe a half of yr cup! Not really worth it unless u just want a bit of a taste. The next time I used 2 packets & that was better but had to guess at the time to microwave. It was pretty good tasting!! Just know 1 will not make a full, or close to full cup!

I liked these because it's something sweet that's quick and simple to make. Pour into coffee cup! Add the water! Put in microwave for about a minute. Boom! Done! It's chocolate! It's sweet! It's hot! Usually a pretty decent price! Gotta watch when the prices go up and down when buying. I had ordered some different kinds of these and had them dropped shipped to my son in WV. Something that's dry boxed food and easy to send through the mail. Just a treat! I would recommend trying this 😃

I bought this then red the reviews, and I kinda was skeptical i was going to get anything remotely close to a walnut brownie. I followed the instructions, right off the bat I knee it wasnt going to be a "Mug of brownie" more a "Bite of brownie", I added the water, 2 tablespoons, and knew right there that theyre wrong. 2 tablespoons did almost nothing, so I added a third and then it was atleast manageable, looking at my mess of a cup there was no way in hell this would turn into a brownie.. my heart sank, i kinda wanted to just wash mt cup out and not worry about the brown gunky mess at the bottom of my cup. But I made it this far and popped it into the microwave. 55 seconds, i dont know why the odd number, but who am I to judge? Hit 1 minute took it out with 5 seconds left, and looked in my cup. It somehow turned from a ball of sludge to a hockey puck. I put my spoon in, it was very soft and cakey, i took a bite thinking its going to be awful, and to my surprise it tastes like walnut brownie! All be it a small walnut brownie, this thing takes up maybe the bottom quarter of my mug, but it tastes great, and honestly, for the price, who am I to complain? For $2 and change I get an entire mug of walnut brownie mix shipped to my door the next day? I would recommend atleast giving it a try.

It'll call for 2 tablespoons of milk or water, I will recommend milk and an egg. Please take the 55 seconds with a grain of salt with our microwave (an older one mind you) it took 2 minutes. The carmel chips didn't melt, would also recommend adding new ones in.
