Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

A cinch to make. I used substitutes based on what I had at home. Instead of 1 C brown sugar I used 1/3 C Creamed Honey and 1/3 C granulated sugar. They Honey is healthier and more flavorful. I did not want a full Cup of sugar- too sweet. The firmness of the honey replaced the margarine and I used 1 Cup of canola oil as the fat instead. I didn't have wheat germ so I used flax meal. So good. Next time I'll trry it w/ the dates, looking forward to that!
