Our Favorite Savory Back-of-the-Box Recipes, Ranked
Some of the best recipes aren't in cookbooks, magazines, or a chef's notebook. They're right in the aisles of the supermarket. We hit the grocery store and picked up a cart of old-faithful products to test the famous recipes on the backs of the boxes. (Or cans. Or bags.) Then we cooked (and tasted) them all. Were they all great? Nope. But these TK, presented here in ascending order, were winners.

Palets Bretons

Palets bretons are oversize cookies that feature butter, and because they’re from Brittany, they’re traditionally made with beurre salé, salted butter.

Grape Dumplings

Native American people made these with cornmeal dumplings, simmering them with wild grapes, which were harvested at their peak sweetness.

Pan-Fried Turmeric Bread (Kubez Kimaaj)

Kubez bread, a.k.a. kimaaj, is an Arabic flatbread or pita bread. It’s a staple in the Middle East used as an accompaniment for various dishes or as a wrap.

Dulce de Leche

Make this versatile caramel at home with our slow-simmered method using milk and sugar—or take one of two sweetened condensed milk shortcuts.

Wampanoaug Clam Fritters

The clams’ natural briny sweetness serves as a surprising foil for the tender fritter batter—just be sure to pull off the tough outer coating of the siphon.

Jammy Grape Galette

We don’t bake with grapes as often as we should. But even the most average supermarket varieties come alive when roasted with a bit of sugar and seasoning.

Mississippi Mud Cake

This cake was created from thrift and was supposedly named after its appearance, which reminded people of the muddy Mississippi River bottom.

Passion Fruit Curd

Tangy and sunny, this curd can be made with either fresh or frozen pulp.
