My husband loves fruitcake but I didn't know that there's a fruitcake mix. What brand is it? Or is it a container of candied fruit?

Is it 3/4 pound mixed candied fruit?

you and your hubby will like it. I used banana nut quick bread mixes but mom used nut bread and date bread mixes. :snowman:

I can't wait to make some myself. Maybe thanksgiving day mom and I can make some after the big meal is over!:christmastree:

I bought two boxes of banana nut bread mix because that is all that they had at our Walmart. But I didn't have the recipe with me and I forgot the pecans.
