The Italian Way to Make Canned Frosting 10x Better
When I want to dress up my baked goods, I turn to the experts, including one of the original baking "influencers," Betty Crocker. It's safe to say the 100+-year-old company knows a thing or two about baking, and when they share a fan-favorite tip, we pay attention. There are endless ways to take a boxed cake mix from good to gourmet, but what about the frosting? Why put all that effort into the perfect cake if you're just going to top it with plain canned frosting?
That's where Betty Crocker's Nutella Frosting comes in. This is a game-changer for any dessert lover and it's so simple to make.

Betty Crocker took the world's most beloved chocolate-hazelnut spread and turned it into a delicious frosting that's so good you'll want to eat it straight from the bowl (it's ok, go for it!).
This recipe is about as easy as they come. It only takes five minutes and can ice a whole cake with some leftovers for eating straight from the bowl, if you want to—and you will!
To make it, you'll need one 16-ounce tub of Betty Crocker Rich & Creamy Vanilla Frosting and 1/3 cup of Nutella. In a medium bowl, mix the frosting and Nutella until fully combined and smooth. That's it!
This is an amazing recipe as it is, but you can make it better with a few simple tweaks.
To boost the chocolate flavor, you can swap vanilla frosting for Betty Crocker's Milk Chocolate Frosting for an even richer, fudgier topping. We're also wondering if swirling Nutella with Betty Crocker Strawberry frosting might also be a fun upgrade. (There's only one way to find out.)

The Genius Way to Make Leftover Pizza 10x Better
I'm a sucker for a good food mashup. Think sushi burritos and donut burgers—gloriously over-the-top combos that somehow just work. But every so often, I stumble across one that makes me pause mid-scroll and question the sanity of the Internet. That's exactly what happened when I saw this epic creation from TikTok account @seriousfoodfetish. It's a pizza sandwich, a salad pizza and a chicken pizza all at once—and it's as wild as it sounds!Related: 😋😋 SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & more in our daily Pop Kitchen newsletter.🍳🍔 This isn't just a sandwich. This is a culinary dare, a tower of chaos that only a true comfort food enthusiast could dream up. Here's how you make it: take two slices of leftover pizza (yes, two entire slices), air fry them to get the cheese all melty and the crust crisp again. While the pizza is heating up, toss together a Caesar salad (it's all about the balance). Next, air fry a breaded chicken fillet until it's golden and comes the fun part! Pile some of that fresh Caesar salad on top of one slice of pizza (cheese side up), add the crispy chicken, then layer on even more salad. Top it with the second slice of pizza (cheese side down) and give it a good press. Wrap it up, slice it in half, and prepare yourself for a mind-bending bite that somehow makes At first glance, this sandwich sounds like a chaotic mix of leftovers, but there's a method to the madness. The crispiness of the air-fried pizza crust acts like a sturdy sandwich bread, while the gooey cheese melts into the chicken and salad, tying all the flavors together. The Caesar salad adds a refreshing crunch and a bit of tang that cuts through the richness of the cheese and chicken, keeping the whole thing from becoming too heavy. It's the kind of over-the-top, unapologetic comfort food that can only come from someone who truly understands the joy of combining unexpected flavors and textures. Also, you would probably consider eating a Caesar salad as a side dish for a slice of pizza. This mashup just puts the two things together in one dish. Related: Feeling brave? Take this already outrageous mashup to new levels. Swap the Caesar salad for buffalo sauce-drenched lettuce, add blue cheese crumbles and use a spicy, breaded chicken fillet for a sandwich that packs a fiery punch. Stick with the Italian theme and make a chopped salad (romaine, cheese, your favorite Italian meats) and layer that with the chicken. Hit everything with a drizzle of Italian dressing before closing the sandwich for a true Italian deli-inspired twist. Use BBQ chicken pizza slices, a crispy fried chicken fillet and a slathering of ranch dressing. Add a few pickled jalapeños for a bit of heat. If you're still on the fence, just think about how satisfying it will be to hold this monster of a sandwich in your hands, knowing you've defied both culinary logic and the rules of reasonable sandwich-making. Plus, it's the perfect way to use up those random leftover pizza slices you'd normally just reheat and eat over the sink (we've all been there). So why not take a leap of faith and bite into something wild and wonderful? Up Next:
