Notes

  • Avoid mixes that use butter in the mix. It doesn't seem to work well with this recipe
  • You'll still need to add the ingredients needed to make the cake.
  • Calorie count only takes the crumb mixture + boxed cake mix into account.
  • If you don't like as many crumbs as you see here, the recipe can easily be cut in half.
