Fake Betty Crocker Brownie MixAfter I posted my recipes forFake Betty Crocker Cookie Mixes, many of you asked if I had any recipes for Brownies. Yes, I do and they're super easy to make!

Ingredients:*1 Cup Sugar1/2 Cup Flour1/3 Cup Cocoa1/4 teaspoon Salt1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder

Mix all these ingredients together with a whisk and dump them into a zipper bag. On the bag, add the following instructions:

Add:2 Eggs, 1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil, 1 teaspoon Vanilla. Bake @ 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes in a 9 x 9 pan.

That's it! Super easy, right? I made up 3 mixes in less than 5 minutes. These should stay fresh in yourpantryfor at least 6 months. To extend the freshness, store in your freezer for up to a year.

*To customize your mixes, add milk or dark chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, walnuts, or what ever kinds of add-ins you like in your brownies!Fake Jiffy Cornbread MixWith the overwhelming positive feedback I've received for theFake Betty Crocker Cookie Mixes, I've decided to expand into other parts of the baking aisle to see what else can be made at home. In the coming weeks, I'll be sharing lots of different pre-made mixes that we all take for granted.

First, I decided to try something simple - Jiffy Cornbread Mix. Now, at around $0.75 per box, it's already pretty cheap ( But, remember when it used to be $0.25???), but I wondered if it could be made for pennies.

Turns out you can make up several bags of Fake Jiffy Cornbread Mix at home in under 5 minutes and for around 30 Cents each! Here's what you need:
