It sounds like they tested the GF waters with Rice Chex and had a good response. I've tried to buy Rice Chex frequently in order to support their efforts.
We can only hope that the products don't contain dairy or soy. I wasn't able to find the list of ingredients on their website.
Here are sample mix instructions on the site:
Cookie
1 box (19 oz) Betty Crocker® Gluten Free chocolate chip cookie mix
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon gluten-free vanilla
1 egg
Brownie 1 box (16 oz) Betty Crocker® Gluten Free brownie mix
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 eggs
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with shortening or cooking spray.
2. In medium bowl, stir cookie ingredients until soft dough forms. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto bottom of pan.
3. In another medium bowl, stir brownie ingredients until well blended. Drop batter by tablespoonsfuls evenly between mounds of cookie dough.
4. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until cookie portion is golden brown. Cool completely, about 1 hour. For 24 bars, cut into 6 rows by 4 rows.
Success
Butter only is recommended for this recipe.

Absolutely great news and the fact that they will be priced lower is definitely a good thing. Right now the GF labels we all know are $7 or more for a cake mix. Will be on the lookout for them.
Thanks Gloria, Maggie
