Choctoberfest with $350 prize package<\/h3>\n

#Choctoberfest is a celebration of all things chocolate<\/strong> put together by Allison at The PinterTest Kitchen<\/a>. She has gathered almost 70\u00a0bloggers plus some amazing sponsors to bring you plenty of chocolate recipes and\u00a0a wonderful baking prize package over the next two weeks. You can see\u00a0a list of all participants and enter the raffle on this post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Imperial Sugar<\/h3>\n

Our Gold Sponsor is Imperial Sugar<\/a>. I admit I am not perfect when it comes to avoiding GMO products. But sugar is one of those things I definitely watch what I buy. I know it hasn't been proven, but I personally think pure cane sugar works better than beet sugar in my recipes. Which is why I have only bought pure cane sugar for years. According to Imperial's website:<\/p>\n

Pure cane sugar is non-GMO. Imperial Sugar does not use genetically modified plants in any of our pure cane sugar products. Beet sugar can be derived from genetically modified plants. The U.S. does not require labels to designate whether the sugar is derived from sugar cane or beets. If you are concerned about avoiding beet sugar, be sure to look for \"Pure Cane Sugar\" on the package.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Be sure to check out their website for loads of great\u00a0recipes, including a bunch of sugar scrub recipes for those that don't want to eat any sugar but don't mind using it for beauty products.<\/p>\n

Chocolate Cake Mix<\/h3>\n

Now, let's talk about this cake mix. The basic recipe makes one of the most moist and dark chocolate cakes I have ever had. It doesn't even need frosting! but you can add your favorite if you want to decorate just like you would a cake from a store bought mix.<\/p>\n

To make the mix in a jar, just layer the ingredients (starting with Imperial Sugar!), then decorate and attach the instructions<\/a>. I plan on keeping a few mixes on hand for when I need a chocolate-y dessert or a quick gift for family and friends.<\/p>\n

By the end of Choctoberfest I will have four different recipes you can make with this mix, and I will update this page as I get them created.<\/p>\n

Printable instructions to include with the jar.<\/h3>\n
