My favorite is from the back of the label of Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk for the easiest chocolate truffles ever! Many times I add different spices to mix it up (ex cinnamon and red pepper for a Mexican chocolate truffle) and people go gaga.

My favorite back of the box recipe is from Philadelphia Cream Cheese for New York style cheesecake! Delicious and always asked to bring this to family gatherings & the recipe. They used to think I bought it, but know I bake it.

My favorite back of the box recipe is found on Hershey's unsweetened cocoa powder. It's the recipe for their "Perfectly Chocolate" chocolate cake. It's my go-to chocolate cake. Even better made with their special dark cocoa. I literally have to force myself to use another chocolate cake recipe at times.

I have no garlic powder. Fresh garlic ? Cook it ?

I think you could use fresh garlic. Saute it in butter until softened and then refrigerate it until cold. Add it after you incorporate the cold butter into the dry ingredients along with the cheese and buttermilk. Should come out fine.

Hermione, I live in Canada. In North America scones are for sweet and biscuits are for savoury.

Not necessarily true, Lynne. In the U.S. we regularly see both sweet and savory scones and biscuits.

Perhaps in Canada how we see it then. Though when I've been in the US, its one or the other

While every rule in the US seems to have exceptions, most often I do see scones as sweet and biscuits as savory. Even then, I probably see more savory scones than sweet biscuits.

The muffins on the bag of Bob's Red Mill's ground flaxseed are outstanding. Carrots, apple, oat bran, flax; photo + more info here https://instagram.com/p/2RIsAyGBy8/ Outstanding recipe. ;o)

But this is about this recipe, not someone else's flaxseed muffins.

With all due respect, the author explicitly asks for readers' favorite "back of the box" recipes at the end of the article...and requests that suggestions be left in the comments. Don't be rude.
