47th Pillsbury Bake-Off Contest names Grand Prize winner
The 47th Pillsbury Bake-Off Contest awarded Beth Royals of Richmond, VA (far left), its grand prize for her original recipe Peanutty Pie Crust Clusters. Royals will take home $1 million, along with $10,000 in GE kitchen appliances. The announcement was made on Dec. 3 by celebrity chef and host of the 47th Pillsbury Bake-Off Contest Carla Hall (third from left) on ABC’s “The Chew, which she co-hosts.
“Peanutty Pie Crust Clusters have something for everyone—they are sweet, salty and have a great crunchy texture,” said Jann Atkins, Bake-Off Kitchens manager. “We thought Beth's idea, to use Pillsbury's refrigerated pie crust in a candy-like recipe, was both unique and creative. This dish is easy to make, and it stores very well, making it a great contribution to holiday parties and potlucks.”
