"In our ranking of 13 popular boxed chocolate cake mix brands, we taste-tested several different Betty Crocker varieties. Alas, the highest any of the products ranked was No. 6 (chocolate fudge Super Moist). Across the entire category, boxed mixes by Pillsbury, Krusteaz, King Arthur Baking Company, and Duncan Hines outranked Betty Crocker's offerings by a longshot."
"Taste-testing No. 6, our reviewer noted that the mix was "very dry and mediocre," concluding, "It's not a bad cake mix per se, but it's just not one I would personally buy myself." We expressed similar lackluster criticisms with the brand's Delights Super Moist triple chocolate fudge cake mix, which pulled a dismal #9, followed by Super Moist devil's food cake mix at #11, and Super Moist milk chocolate cake mix at #12 (yikes)."
"Even on the official Betty Crocker website, customer reviews of the Chocolate Fudge Super Moist cake mix mention that they "Can't taste the chocolate fudge flavor, but it's ok with peanut butter on top.""
