I’ve always been a fan of Betty Crocker, mainly because she makes me look like a rock star in front of my kids. I can whip up cakes and cookies so fast when they come home from school that they think I have been baking all day. Now I’m a fan of Betty Crocker for another reason, the Betty Crocker Stirring Up Wishes program. I’m participating, and you can, too.

Betty Crocker is helping grant wishes through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. You can help in two ways. First, you can donate $5 on the Stirring Up Wishes website and be able to then download $5 in Betty Crocker Coupons. You can also purchase specially marked Betty Crocker products and 10 cents will be donated for each package purchased. Products include cakes, cookie mixes, muffin mixes, frosting, Bisquick, and more.

Thanks to Betty Crocker and MyBlogSpark, I also have a Stirring Up Wishes Prize Pack to give out to one lucky reader. It includes a Betty Crocker mixing spoon, a Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix, and a Betty Crocker Brownie Mix. In addition, they will make a $25 d0nation to the Make-A-Wish foundation on your behalf.

1) Leave a comment below with your favorite Betty Crocker product (one entry).

2) Twitter about the contest and leave a comment below with your Tweet (one entry).

3) Sign up for our newsletter on the right and leave a comment below (e-mail will be verified) (one entry).

4) Blog about this contest and leave your link to the post below (two entries).

Drawing will take place March 24 at noon Eastern. Must be a US Resident, age 18 or older to enter. Winner will be notified via e-mail and have 24 hours to respond or a new winner will be selected.
