-
Dolly Parton expanded her Duncan Hines baking-mix line to include cornbread (alongside other mixes like biscuits and brownies) as part of a multi-year partnership with Duncan Hines/Conagra. The expansion was announced in early 2023 with additional flavors rolling out to retailers shortly thereafter.[1][5]

The mixes have been positioned as consumer-friendly, with suggested retail pricing around the mid-range for baking mixes and a focus on southern-inspired flavors like cornbread and biscuits.[5][7]
