If your idea of a magical evening involves baking something inspired by the Wizarding World, General Mills has a new collection worth keeping an eye out for. Just in time for the Back to Hogwarts season, Betty Crocker and Pillsbury are rolling out a lineup of new and returning Harry Potter-themed baking kits, cookies, cakes, and fruit snacks.

Whether you’re planning a game night, a Back to Hogwarts celebration, or simply looking for an excuse to make dessert a little more magical, there are several new treats heading to store shelves.

Perfect Timing for Back to Hogwarts

The release comes during one of the busiest times of year for Harry Potter celebrations. Between Back to Hogwarts on September 1, anniversary events surrounding Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, and HBO’s upcoming television adaptation continuing to build excitement, there are plenty of reasons for Wizarding World-inspired gatherings over the coming months.

General Mills says the products will begin arriving at retailers nationwide in time for the season, though availability may vary depending on your local stores.

If you spot any of these on shelves, let us know on Instagram which one you’re most excited to try. The Chocolate Frog truffles and Forbidden Forest cake are already high on our list.
