DUNKAROO DIP
This homemade Dunkaroo
Dip recipe is an easy dessert dip your
whole family will love. Do you
remember your favorite childhood
snacks? This dip was mine! If you grew
up in and 90s and early 2000s you’ll
love this nostalgic treat because
Dunkaroos was the most popular
snack ever!

···

I remember eating the original

Dunkaroos in my school lunches,
after school snacks, and little play
dates with friends. We were all
obsessed with them because how
could you not love a mini snack-sized
cookies and frosting treat? I would
get so excited to rip the wrapper o"
and dunk a cookie in the deliciously
sweet frosting dip..hence the name
“Dunkaroos”!

This Dunkaroo Dip aka Funfetti Dip

(since it’s make with a box of funfetti
cake mix) tastes just like the famous
frosting dip but even better because
it’s homemade. This is the perfect dip
to serve at a birthday party, baby
shower, snack, or dessert. I can
guarantee everyone will love this dip
and its perfect for all occasions!

···

Another one of my favorite savory

nostalgic treats to make is my
Homemade Bagel Bites! We just
couldn’t get enough of that fun snack
as a kid.

INGREDIENTS
Cool whip: I prefer to use lite or non-
fat cool whip to keep this dip on the
lighter side. Be sure the cool whip is
defrosted.

Funfetti cake mix: the key ingredient

that gives this dip a frosting and
funfetti cake flavor.

Vanilla yogurt: I prefer to use vanilla

Greek yogurt because of the
consistency but any vanilla flavored
yogurt will work. Plain yogurt will also
work just add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
extract.

···

Animal crackers: for dipping. See

below for other dipping ideas.

Colorful sprinkles: I used rainbow

sprinkles but you can use any colors
you want.

HOW TO MAKE DUNKAROO

DIP
First, you want to heat treat the cake
mix (instructions on how to heat treat
the cake mix is in the recipe card).
Then, combine all of the ingredients
in a large bowl and mix with a whisk
or wooden spoon. Alternatively, you
can also beat together with an
electric mixer.

···

Be sure to mix until there are no

lumps in the mix. Place in a serving
bowl and top with extra sprinkles
(totally optional but it makes this dip
more fun). Let the dip chill in the
refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.

Serve chilled dip with animal crackers

or your favorite dippers. You can eat
this dip at room temperature but I
highly recommend chilling it to set for
best results.

RECIPE TIPS &

VARIATIONS
Cake mix: you can use white cake
mix instead of funetti cake mix. Be
sure to add in 1/2 cup of sprinkles to
the dip.

···

···

Chocolate Dunkaroo Dip: use

chocolate cake mix to make this dip
into a chocolate flavored dunkaroo
dip.

Sprinkles: use your favorite sprinkles

or you can completely omit the
sprinkles to make this a Cake Mix Dip.
Use holiday themed sprinkles for
di"erent holidays like pastel sprinkles
to make an Easter Dunkaroo Dip or
red and green sprinkles to make a
Christmas Dunkaroo Dip.

···

HOW TO HEAT TREAT THE

CAKE MIX
Heating the cake mix will kill any
harmful bacteria or present in the
raw flour if theres any. To make cake
mix safe to eat, place on a baking
sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for
about 5-10 minutes.

Just be sure it doesn’t burn. You can

also microwave the cake mix which
would be the quickest and easiest
way. Place the cake mix in a bowl and
heat on high for 20-45 seconds. Each
microwave is di"erent, so please be
mindful of the temperature.
