How to Make Delicious Dunkaroo Dip
First: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cake mix, cool whip, yogurt, vanilla extract, and half of the sprinkles. Spoon mixture into a cute serving bowl.
Second: Chill for at least 20 minutes to thicken, and garnish with remaining sprinkles. Serve with teddy grahams, animal crackers, graham crackers, or other favorite dippable cookies!

What Cake Mix is Best for Dunkaroo Dip?
Even though Betty Crocker is the mastermind behind Dunkaroos, I’ve noticed that the most similar flavor is actually Pillsbury cake mix! If gluten is an issue, reach for Pillsbury’s gluten-free Funfetti mix.
Of course a second best option would be Betty Crocker’s Party Rainbow Chip cake mix.
What are Good Dipping Foods?
This easy recipe wouldn’t be complete without talking about my favorite dippers! Some of the classics for Dunkaroos would be animal crackers, teddy grahams, or graham crackers in general.
However, don’t limit yourself! Other favorites include vanilla wafers, chocolate chip cookies, or fresh fruit.
How Do You Store Leftover Dip?
With any leftover dip, you should store it in an airtight container and leave it in the refrigerator until you are ready to snack. You can also store it in its serving bowl, just tightly cover with cling wrap before putting in the fridge.
This delicious dessert dip could stay good for up to five days! Prior to serving, refresh the Dunkaroo dip with a quick stir and top with extra sprinkles.
What are the Risks of Unbaked Flour?
It is always important to be mindful of potential risks you are taking with recipes. Similar to uncooked fish in recipes or eggnog with raw egg, you run the risk of harmful bacteria like E. Coli with this recipe using unbaked flour.
Unbaked flour could potentially carry E. Coli so for extra precaution, you could bake your flour before preparing. Spread the white cake mix on a baking sheet and bake.
Can the Dip be Frozen?
This dip should not be frozen to keep that creamy and smooth texture intact. However, with only a 25 minute prep time you don’t need to even worry about freezing it for a later date.
