Foodstirs is a bimonthly baking subscription box. Every month, you’ll receive family-oriented baking kits made with premium and real ingredients, free of preservatives, artificial dyes, and flavors. The mixes use organic and non-GMO ingredients when available.
Your subscription will start with the kit indicated on the subscription information page!
August ‘s Foodstirs was a Campire S’mores Brownie Cupcake Kit. When the treats have a holiday theme, this subscription typically comes way in advance of the holiday, so you’ll have it not only in time to make for the holiday itself but also in time for pre-holiday parties if you like.
As always, Foodstirs provides organic mixes and contains no artificial ingredients!
DEAL: Use coupon code HSFREE to get your first month for FREE plus $5.99 shipping!
The box includes a card letting you know the ingredients needed, tools, baking time, quantity, etc.
I like that it breaks down the ingredients you need twice (the second time being what you need at home). The kit includes all dry ingredients and decorative items — you supply eggs, butter, and other dairy when needed. When making Foodstirs, you’ll always want to have plenty of butter and some plain Greek yogurt on hand, as these are almost always required.
The information card also has useful tips written on it – usually, there is a factoid and a couple of options for adding some extra flair or flavor to your creation. This one had a great reminder to warm the milk when mixing the food coloring.
The box includes complete nutritional and ingredients information. You will like the ingredients – never anything artificial, and the ingredients are primarily organic with only natural food dye. Nutrition information covers only what is provided in the kit – they don’t state the nutritional profile of the prepared food once you’ve added the required butter, eggs, yogurt, etc.
The instructions. They are step by step with a photo for each step. The single card covered the mixing, baking, and decorating of the cupcakes.
The kit comes with organic mixes for the baked items. We find their cake mixes to be really high quality and tasty. Regardless of how lovely our project turns out in any month, we know that it will taste good!
This month we got cupcake liners and a brownie mix. It was all pretty straightforward – we crushed up the graham crackers to make a crust, and the brownie cupcakes got cooked on top of that.
Plus everything to decorate!
After you bake the cupcakes the decoration process begins – first by placing the marshmallows on top of the cupcakes. I don’t think the vegan marshmallows are necessary in a decidedly non-vegan subscription (we use a stick of butter every time we make it) but they are vegan and weren’t sticky like the first go-round.
We browned them as directed and they just looked unbelievably delicious already!
The flame-colored frosting? It’s the organic frosting mix and the plant-based food coloring!
After things cooled down a bit we placed our campfire frosting on the logs!
It just makes the cutest presentation.
Easily my favorite Foodstirs – ever!
We had so much fun with this one we couldn’t help but pretend camping!
And the inside? SO good – and even better after refrigerated for a day. Seriously, if you haven’t tried Foodstirs yet, this is the kit to sign up for – seasonally perfect for the end of Summer, absolutely delicious, and amazing results without being fussy!
