When I was a kid, having Dunkaroos in your lunchbox at school was like hitting the jackpot. Why not hit the jackpot any time you want at home while you enjoy that nostalgic snack and feel like a kid again? This homemade Dunkaroo dip only needs 3 key ingredients and will make a ton so you can share (or not – I don't judge)

Why funfetti dip is going to be your new favorite thing

• It's so easy to make. I mean seriously, so easy. Add three ingredients to a bowl and stir. The end.
• People go nuts for this! Kids, adults, everyone. It will disappear so quickly at parties, so make sure you get your share first ;) Dessert dips are almost always all the rage at a party.
• There are no crazy ingredients, and it's easily customizable.

This funfetti cake batter dip is better than Dunkaroos

I was absolutely giddy when I heard that one of my favorite nostalgic snacks of my childhood had returned to stores in the US in 2020. You better believe I immediately went in search of them, and once I got a box of them I felt like I'd hit that elementary school lottery all over again.

I opened the little container of adorable cookies with the little pod of sprinkled cake batter dip and prepared myself for awesomeness. And you know what? I was disappointed.

Tastebuds change as you get older, and I know memories can get distorted, but they just weren't… the same. The cookies were fine, but the Dunkaroos frosting had an artificial taste, and my middle-aged stomach wanted a larger serving than a couple of bites.

So given the choice between the rereleased Betty Crocker Dunkaroos snack and my Homemade Dunkaroo Dip? I'm going to pick my recipe every time.

Key ingredients for funfetti dip

• Funfetti cake mix: The key ingredient to the whole shebang! Either an 18.9 oz or 15.25-ounce box of cake mix will work.
• Vanilla yogurt: You can use non-vanilla flavored yogurt too, but I enjoy the flavor it adds
• Cool Whip: You want this thawed in the fridge, and not from the freezer as it will be difficult to mix.
• Rainbow sprinkles: Optional, but encouraged. Because why wouldn't you want more sprinkles in a sprinkle dip?!
• Animal crackers: Also optional, but used for dipping into said dip :) You can also use graham crackers, Teddy Grahams, or really whatever makes you happy.

6 tips for making the best funfetti cake dip

1. Use a large mixing bowl – larger than you think you'll need! This will help you mix everything together thoroughly without having to be super cautious not to spill cake mix everywhere.
   
2. Use a sturdy wooden spoon and spatula to mix everything together. You can even use a large whisk if you'd like, you'll just need to scrape the mix out from the middle. Wooden spoons or large, sturdy spatulas are your best bet.
   
3. We're making homemade Dunkaroos with yogurt, and I recommend using vanilla-flavored. Use a kind you know you like the flavor of!
   
4. You'll notice that after you've combined everything, there's probably not a whole lot of “funfetti” happening. It's going to smell like it, but not look like it – the colors of the sprinkles won't stick out much when they've been combined with the yogurt and Cool Whip. This is when we add extra sprinkles, because why not?
   
5. Transfer to a clean, smaller bowl for serving. Make sure it's a good size for people to dip into, and a bowl that's safe to go in the fridge (since that's where it will need to be stored).
   
6. And at the risk of being a broken record… add more sprinkles :)

How to make Dunkaroo Dip

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine Funfetti mix, yogurt and Cool Whip.

Step 2: Use a large wooden spoon or spatula to stir and combine.

See how not sprinkle-filled it looks now? That just means we need to add more sprinkles! ;)

Step 3: Add more sprinkles and stir again to combine. Cover and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4: Transfer to a serving bowl.

Top with more sprinkles, and serve with some animal crackers for an adorable and fun dessert dip experience!

Heat treating the flour in the cake mix

If you’re concerned about the potential for bacteria in raw flour, you can quickly heat treat it by spreading it out onto a baking sheet and toasting it at 350°F for 5 minutes. Let it cool, then follow the instructions above.

Just note that the sprinkles in the funfetti cake mix may discolor or become a bit melty and spread. But don't despair – that's just more reason to add even more sprinkles :)

This is an easy-to-measure dessert dip

I wanted to make the quantities easy: a whole box of funfetti cake mix, a whole container of yogurt, a whole container of Cool Whip.

That means your Dunkaroo Dip can still work if you don't have exactly those amounts, so don't fret! The only difference you'll see might be in the texture.

• If you're low on the yogurt, the dip will be a little more dense.
• If you're low on the dry cake mix, it might be a little fluffier. But no matter what, it will be delicious.
• I've made this plenty of times with a 6-ounce single serving yogurt and it worked out just fine – so if you don't have a full 8 ounces of yogurt, I promise everything will be okay.
• I've also made this with different amounts of dry cake mix, and it's been fine! Some boxes of cake mix come in 18.9-ounce boxes, some come with 15.25 ounces.
