No-Bake Caramel Cheesecake Mix vs Jell-O No Bake Classic Cheesecake Kit

Buy the Country Home Creations mix if you need a vegan, gluten-free, wheat-free cheesecake and want a caramel flavor. Buy the Jell-O kit if you want a mainstream no-bake cheesecake with the crust included and a familiar brand behind it. The Country Home Creations mix is a single 1 lb pouch of filling mix only, so you supply cream cheese, whipped topping and a crust. The Jell-O kit bundles filling mix and crust mix in an 11.1 oz box, sold as a two-pack, and comes in classic, lemon, strawberry and key lime flavors. Reviewers of no-bake kits like these praise the speed and consistent set, and complain that the texture is softer and less dense than a baked cheesecake.

• Choose the Country Home Creations No-Bake Caramel Cheesecake Mix if you or your guests eat vegan or gluten-free, or you specifically want caramel.
• Choose the Jell-O No Bake Classic Cheesecake Kit if you want the crust included, a two-pack on hand, and the familiar boxed-kit texture and flavors.
