Need a sweet treat to whip up for Valentine’s Day? Good news! Dolly Parton is expanding her beloved line of Duncan Hines cake mixes.

“I knew Duncan Hines and I were bringing something special to the baking aisle when we launched our partnership last year, and I’ve been thrilled by the response,” the country legend said in a press release on Tuesday (Jan. 17). “I’m really excited to launch more baking mixes steeped in my Southern roots, like cornbread and biscuits. I think folks are really going to like them and hope they’ll bake up some special memories with family and friends.”

New flavors include Buttermilk Biscuit Mix, Sweet Cornbread & Muffin Mix and two installments of the Famous Brownie Mix. The latest additions to the Dolly Parton x Duncan Hines collection retails for $3.29-$3.49 per box and includes Parton’s recipes on the packaging.  

Parton’s Famous Brownie Mix ($3.49) is available in Caramel Turtle and Fabulously Fudgy flavors. Buttermilk Biscuit Mix ($3.29) is made with real buttermilk and features one of Parton’s favorite recipes for cheddar and chive biscuits on the box, while Sweet Cornbread & Muffin Mix ($3.29) features another of Parton’s favorite jalapeño cornbread recipes.

The new collection will hit stores soon, but fans can snag early access to Duncan Hines’ limited-edition Dolly Parton’s Baking Collection ($40) beginning Feb. 8 at shopduncanhines.com (while supplies last). Members of the “Duncan Hines Baking Community” will get early access on Feb. 1. Click here to join.

In addition to the delicious mixes, the limited-edition kit includes a pink spatula, exclusive recipe cards and collectible tea towel that reads “What Would Dolly Do?”

While fans wait for the new editions to drop, the original flavors in Parton’s collection — banana and coconut flavored cake mixes, creamy buttercream frosting and creamy chocolate flavored frosting — are available online and in stores at multiple retailers.

Parton announced the “sweet surprise” in a tweet to fans last year writing, “Can’t wait for ya’ll to try it.” The limited-edition cake mix kit ($40) — featuring Dolly Parton’s Southern Style Coconut Flavored Cake Mix, Dolly Parton’s Southern Style Banana Flavored Cake Mix, Dolly Parton’s Creamy Buttercream Frosting, Dolly Parton’s Chocolate Buttercream Frosting, along with a collectible tea towel, spatula, and custom recipe cards — debuted on Jan. 26 and sold out within minutes.

“I have always loved to cook and, growing up in the South, I especially love that authentic Mom and Pop kind of cooking,” Parton said in a statement at the time. “I am excited to launch my own line of cake mixes and frostings with Duncan Hines, bringing that sweet, Southern-style baking experience I enjoy to others.”

“Duncan Hines is beyond thrilled to partner with Dolly Parton, one of the most revered and beloved women in the world, on a new line of products that are steeped in Southern comfort and inspired by Dolly’s family recipes,” added Audrey Ingersoll, Duncan Hines brand director. “We are excited to see this partnership – facilitated by Dolly’s licensing agency, IMG – evolve for years to come.”

The initial batch of Parton’s cake mixes were first available at DuncanHines.com before being released in grocery stores in March. You can buy the cake mixes and frostings online at Amazon, Walmart, H.E.B., Ralph’s and Instacart.
