'Betty Crocker Wednesday Addams Super Moist Dark Chocolate Cake Mix' is making its way to retailers in anticipation of the upcoming release of the next installment of the Wednesday series on Netflix. The product is a limited-edition baking mix that takes a moody approach with a dark, rich chocolate composition that's accented by Wednesday-themed branding on the box. The cake mix is easy for consumers to prepare from their kitchen and can be paired with white frosting to help the dark chocolate base look even richer in contrast, while also offering a dual-flavor experience.
Betty Crocker Wednesday Addams Super Moist Dark Chocolate Cake Mix will be available on Amazon starting in mid-August before heading to more retailers in September. Wednesday season 2 will make its global premiere on Netflix starting August 6 with Part 1, while Part 2 will arrive September 3, 2025.
