Eating healthy is a main focus of our family; however, we like to indulge every now and then with something decadent. So when I find something that is a delicious treat, and a little healthier, I get pretty excited…
Nestle Toll House now has NEW Brownies & More Baking Mix, with Chocolate Morsels or Butterfingers; and Cookies & More Baking Mix, with Chocolate Morsels or Butterfingers… made just a little healthier— NO preservatives and NO artificial colors or flavors. As a consumer— and a mother of three boys— I love to know that I am giving the very best quality ingredients to my family.
So when I found out these new Nestle Toll House Baking Mixes were free of preservatives, artificial colors and flavors, I was ready to try them all! However, when we got to Target, not all of the baking mixes were in stock (they are available online though). So if they aren’t available in your area, you can always order it online and get free shipping and save 5% off your purchase if you use a Target Red card. I’m always looking to save a little extra money, so when I got to the checkout and was done paying, along with my receipt, I got an in-store Target coupon to save $0.75 on my next purchase of two Nestle Toll House Baking Mixes. And right now, you can save even more and join Ibotta and get an additional rebate of $0.75 on this product!
Once we got home, we then had to figure out which baking mix to use first… and that was a hard decision… but, after much deliberation, we decided to go with the Nestle Toll House Brownies & More Chocolate Baking Mix. (Plus, I knew that I could sneak some fruits and vegetables into the chocolate mix without it even being noticed by my kids… shhhh, don’t tell them my secret!)
Usually, if you want to avoid the preservatives and artificial ingredients, you need to whip up something from scratch… and that’s another reason that I love these new baking mixes… just like homemade, but quicker and easier!
I love the fact that these new Nestle Toll House Baking mixes do not contain preservatives, artificial colors, or flavors. And I also love to try to sneak in a few extra fruits and vegetables into my kids when I can… so adding in some strawberries and zucchini gives this “healthier” brownie mix even more of a boost— yet still tastes so good, the kids don’t even realize that they are eating zucchini!
The boys got to spend the day with some of their cousins for my nephew’s birthday and take a little break for brownies. They certainly look like they enjoyed them!

How yummy do these look? I love that you snuck in veggies! No kid would ever suspect!
I love making sweet treats with fruits and veggies in it. I made zucchini bread a few years ago and gave some to my nephews. Their mom didn’t think they would eat them because of it, but they tried it since I made it. Now, they love zucchini bread. This recipe sounds super yummy too. Might have to try this at some point to see if I can sneak another one by them. Haha
That looks so yummy! I haven’t thought to put the zucchini and strawberry in together in an already packaged mix! That’s something I will definitely be trying for my daughter and niece!!!
This looks amazing! YUMMM!
I’ve heard of so many recipes that use zucchini, but I haven’t tried it yet! It sounds interesting though!
What a great idea to add some zucchini and strawberries into the mix! We love zucchini bread, but I would not have thought of this.
Never thought about this combo! I love the idea of adding the strawberries. Thanks for sharing!
These look delish! I love that you were able to sneak in some fruits and veggies!
I would have never thought to put strawberries in brownies… but that sounds SO good!!!

I had no idea Toll House was preservative free! Good to know, and I love that you used the box and gave it a little omph! I’m so doing this! Thanks for the recipe.
I haven’t tried these mixes but I’m going to keep an eye out for them now! Great to have a quick and healthier mix when there’s no time for from scratch.
Great idea – the added strawberry sounds delicious!
Never would have thought to put together strawberry and zucchini in brownies! Sounds delicious! Little bit of veggies with the flavor of chocolate covered strawberries…what a dream! 🙂
Those sound so good! What a great idea!
Love the idea! Especially putting strawberries in brownies! Thanks!
Thank you so much for recommending these mixes — I’ll definitely keep an eye out for them, since I’m such a sweet tooth. Slipping some zucchini in there is genius…I would never have thought of that!

Oh, wow! These look so good! I’d never think to include zucchini in a boxed brownie mix.
I don’t like to bake with boxed muses, but I will be adding strawberries and zucchini to my own brownie recipe next time around!
What a fun idea! These are adorable & sound scrumptious. I am glad you enjoyed the new NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® baking mixes. Thanks #client
What a great idea! I always love to sneak in some veggies when I can. I love zucchini bread, and I love brownies. This is a great way to mix them together!
