Instead of the usual groans you hear when you mention fruitcake, you'll hear YUMS from everyone who tries this delicious Festive Fruitcake Recipe. A little help (OK, a LOT of help) from Betty Crocker makes it easy and tasty - always a great combination!

Just one problem with this recipe - Betty Crocker doesn't make this date bar mix any more & lots of people are very unhappy about it too. It would be nice if they brought it back just for the holidays. What a shame!!!!! This cake was very good & everyone who tried it loved it - even people who hated fruitcake.
