Products and flavors no longer available from Betty Crocker

Cherry Fudge
Chocolate Malt

In fact, the only frosting mix you can still buy is Fluffy White. There are 21 flavors of canned frosting to choose from though.

The names just sound really good to me, some of them - like Lemon Chiffon and Butter Brickle. They liked lemon a lot, didn't they?

I don't expect the mixes were as good as the names though!

They all had to be better than canned frosting, though. Canned frosting just leaves me cold. I think it's one of the worst "improvements" in modern baking.

What is "brickle," anyway?? Is it supposed to be like peanut *brittle*?
