These Are The Back-Of-The-Box Recipes Our Readers Swear By

My mom makes the most amazing chocolate chip cookies. I finally asked her where her recipe came from (thinking it's my grandmother's recipe or something) and she tells me it's the Toll House recipe. I. WAS. FLOORED.

My mom made the BEST banana bread when I was growing up, and later told me she was using the recipe on the back of the flour. It's delicious every time!

The strawberry shortcake recipe on the back of Bisquick. It makes sweet little biscuit-like shortbreads that I like better than the store-bought ones.

On the back of the large bags of Toll House chocolate chips is a recipe for chocolate chip pie ― it's one of the best recipes I've ever tasted and it always works perfectly! I make one for every holiday, and there's never any leftover (that's how good it is).

The ultimate chocolate chip cookies are on the back of the Crisco Baking Sticks Butter Flavor box. They're absolutely amazing and versatile (I add toffee pieces in lieu of the chopped pecans). Every time I make them, they're a hit, and people are shocked to learn that I got the recipe from the back of a Crisco box.

Land O'Lakes butter has a great sugar cookie recipe that I use every Christmas. People love them, and I never tell them I got the recipe from a tub of butter.

Reese's Peanut Butter Temptations are an easy-to-make crowd-pleaser. My roommate and I compete to see who can unwrap the most Reese's Peanut Butter Cups from their foils while the cookies bake in the oven. (Warning: once you eat one, you won't be able to stop yourself from inhaling the rest.)

They have a connection to my childhood and are my favorite Christmas cookie recipe to make. They're so easy, and I actually won a ribbon at our county fair with the recipe.

I knew this old lady who was famous for her biscuits. One day, a restaurant asked her to make their biscuits and as a result, they started doing very well (always selling out of biscuits). Everyone knew her biscuits had Bisquick in them, but no one knew her exact recipe. Turns out, she had been using the recipe on the back of the box!

The chocolate cake recipe on the back of the Hershey's Cocoa package. It uses boiling water in the batter which makes it different than other chocolate cake recipes I've seen. I made it for my husband's friend's birthday, and a year later his mom emailed me asking for the recipe!
