Pillsbury Soft Baked Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cookies


 Pillsbury Soft Baked Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cookies are the kind of thing I can have in my house for six months and not eat. Given how fat and disgusting I am you should think twice about buying them. 

Are they bad, no, but they don't have a lot of cinnamon and there is no crunch. I mean, if you fail the name why name it that? 

I haven't eaten Cinnamon Toast Crunch for maybe twenty years but I remember liking it as a kid. Sugar cereal is something I dislike as a point but I admit that much of it tastes really good. Accept these cookies aren't as good as the cereal. Why not just eat the cereal then?

Pillsbury Grands Pumpkin Spice Rolls


 Pillsbury Grands Pumpkin Spice Rolls are limited Edition because no one would be dumb enough to buy them any time but fall. You need the rest of the year to forget that they are just cinnamon rolls with a different box. I didn't taste pumpkin spice which is more than cinnamon, and I didn't taste all that much cinnamon. 

Replace the cinnamon with allspice and I wouldn't have know the difference but these mostly just taste like sugar.  

They are also only good hot and not all that impressive when they are. These are a fail.

Pillsbury Cornbread Swirls


 Only in a world of these odd bread tubes do you get Pillsbury Cornbread Swirls. They are kind of like cornbread muffins only, well, swirly. 

These are about as good as what you would buy in store only fresh and hot as apposed to what you would make at home. The home version for me was always sweeter and had more of a crumble. 

Still, these are an interesting solid addition to any dinner party. I would always recommend cooking them a few times for your family before making them for friends because you need to get used to how to cook them.  

They would also be a great addition to an afternoon tea. Served with butter and honey or jam they are a good product to have on hand. 

I shouldn't get any more, because I'm a fat monster who should stop eating all bread products, but you get the idea.

Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers Original Biscuits


 Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers Original Biscuits are the most basic of the Pillsbury Grands family. They feature almost nothing in the way of flavor inviting you to add stuff like butter or jelly to them. 

It comes to me that it's funny to even review a product like this as they have been a part of the American zeitgeist for so long. I mean, most of us have had them at some point or other and they have inspired so many knock offs that it's hard to keep track.  

Still, if you're looking for flavor you don't buy these. These Grands are a warm biscuit to put your butter on and nothing more.

Pillsbury Pull-Apart Kit: Garlic Bread


 It took me two tries to get this Pillsbury Pull-Apart Kit: Garlic Bread right but I think the first time I used the wrong cheese. They don't really tell you what kind of cheese to use but I've used Gouda here. 

Gouda was what I had on hand and it had been sitting in my refrigerator for more than a year.  

Anyway, you really need to place this in a flat pan, because it will not cook right in any other way. I also felt the garlic was a little on the light side but that could be, because I used a stronger cheese. 

All in all, this would be a great crowd-pleaser at your dinner party or it could add some heft to a family meal. This was a lot of food for me and I'm massive so it should fill anyone's gut.  

This is worth trying, but don't roll it out to friends until you've had some experience cooking one or two.  It's for the slightly more skilled chef.
