Versatile Festive Baking Mixes

Trader Joe's Holiday Baking Mix Creates Cookies, Cakes and Loaves

Years ago, Trader Joe's carried a Chocolate Peppermint Cake Mix and the neighborhood grocery store is now introducing a minty holiday baking mix that can be used for making more than just festively flavored cakes. The all-new Trader Joe’s Chocolate Peppermint Loaf & Baking Mix has the potential to be used to make peppermint cookies and loaves, creating a quick and easy way to satisfy a sweet tooth during the holiday season.

With the versatile baking mix, Trader Joe's recommends recipes like its Chocolate Peppermint Crackle Cookies that look as if they're topped with snow or the Peppermint S'more Cake, which can be layered with ice cream or whipped cream to make a decadent winter treat.
