“Wicked,” in theaters November 22, is the untold story of the witches of Oz: Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart.

Fans will get to experience the magic of “Wicked” with this bewitching duo of Betty Crocker mixes. Are you an Elphaba, or a Glinda? Since pink goes good with green, the vanilla-flavored mixes change colors as the ingredients are stirred, revealing if bakers will be conjuring up a positively green treat like Elphaba, or a perfectly pink one like Glinda.
