At this point in her career, Dolly Parton has done it all and is a complete rock star, to say the least. Following her biggest album debut ever back in November with Rockstar, the music icon is taking her talent back to the kitchen.

Parton unveiled a new line of baking products this week, and it will have you wanting to become a rockstar yourself in the kitchen. The new products now being offered by Parton and Duncan Hines are Chocolate Cake Mix, Yellow Cake Mix, Cinnamon Crumb Cake Mix, Blueberry Muffin Mix, Banana Nut Muffin Mix, and Buttermilk Pancake Mix.

The new items are now available at select stores, plus there are frostings, too. What’s even more exciting is that there is more to come from the collection later in 2024, including frozen items.

Parton joined the hosts of the TODAY Show live from Nashville earlier this week to talk all about her new mixes. She revealed that her, as well as her husband, Carl Thomas Dean, favorite mix, is the chocolate cake.

“I loved co-creating my Duncan Hines line with Conagra, and I’m thrilled we’re going well beyond the baking aisle with new items across the store,” Parton said of the collection. “We’re looking to continue to inspire special moments in the kitchen with some of my family’s favorite recipes, and I think people are really going to love them!”

“We are beyond thrilled to build on the success of our partnership with one of the most beloved and respected women in the world,” Lucy Brady, President of Grocery & Snacks at Conagra Brands stated in a press release. “With our expertise in food, we’ll help bring Dolly’s vision and favorite recipes to so many tables across America, with delicious new offerings across a wide range of eating occasions.”
