Dunkaroo Dip: A Lunchbox Snack Throwback
Recently I have been dying to go back to my 3rd grade snack days with some good old dunkaroo dip! Rivaling Gushers and the chocolate filled koalas, Dunkaroos were definitely a top 5 elementary school lunchbox snack. Oh the cafeteria memories!
I quickly found the perfect opportunity to make this over the weekend for a birthday party we were invited to. Accompanying our delicious dunking snack? Animal cookies and lots of fruit {not pictured}.
Dunkaroo Dip
1 box (18 oz) Funfetti cake mix
1 1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
2 cups Cool Whip
1 tsp vanilla extract
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl until completely combined and there are no more lumps. Chill in refrigerator for one hour (keeps up to three days or can be frozen). Serve with animal crackers, teddy grahams/graham crackers, or Nilla Wafers for an easy dessert.
Note: You can also substitute fat-free Cool Whip and/or yogurt for lower calories.
I added lots of additional sprinkles. After all, it was a birthday celebration we were going to.
Unlike the original Dunkaroos, I ensured there was a more fair ratio of frosting to cookies. There is nothing more frustrating than running out of frosting with a full plate of cookies!
What was your favorite lunchbox snack?
That looks so yummy! I was definitely a dunkaroo girl.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog- new follower!
I made this for a family event a year or so ago after seeing it on Pinterest.. oh my gosh was it fabulous! I love funfetti to begin with, so this was just pure amazing. Next time though, I'll cut the recipe in half because I ended up throwing a ton of it away.
