Universal Pictures’ "Wicked” arrives in theaters November 22

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — To celebrate Universal Pictures’ spectacular film adaptation of “Wicked,” the beloved stage musical that has thrilled and delighted audiences for two decades, Betty Crocker is unleashing two new “Wicked”-inspired treats that are sure to be popular among baking and theater fans — Betty Crocker’s first-ever “mix-to-reveal” kits for Cookie Dough Pops and Cupcakes!

“Wicked,” in theaters November 22, is the untold story of the witches of Oz: Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart.

Fans will get to experience the magic of “Wicked” with this bewitching duo of Betty Crocker mixes. Are you an Elphaba, or a Glinda? Since pink goes good with green, the vanilla-flavored mixes change colors as the ingredients are stirred, revealing if bakers will be conjuring up a positively green treat like Elphaba, or a perfectly pink one like Glinda.

“For more than 100 years, fans have trusted Betty Crocker to bring joy into the world through homemade love, and baking with Betty Crocker is the perfect way for families to build up excitement for the new ‘Wicked’ film,” said Jenny Jonker, Betty Crocker Brand Experience Manager. “The opportunities for baking are truly ‘unlimited’ with Betty Crocker’s very first color-revealing innovation and new magical baking mashups. We can’t wait to see everyone’s enchanting and delicious creations.”
