What is Easter Dunkaroo Dip?

If you are unfamiliar with Dunkaroo Dip, you are in for quite a treat … literally!

This is a fan favorite snack that debuted in 1990 by Betty Crocker. The popular snack came in the perfectly sized snack package, great for lunch boxes or after school snack time, containing cookies and that famous frosting dip.

As you have probably figured out from the name, the cookies are meant to be dipped or “dunked” into the frosting and eaten.

Consider changing the cake batter mix to lemon or chocolate and make your own new frosting flavor. Add food coloring and make it any color you want!

You can also fold in other fun flavors, like Easter Puppy Chow.

Eating Raw Cake Mix

You probably grew up hearing someone in your life say, “don’t lick the spoon” or “don’t eat the raw batter. “In fact, it’s been advised not to eat raw cake batter of any kind because it can make you sick. This is because cake batter can contain harmful bacteria that is “killed off” only after the batter is cooked or baked.

Heat Treat Cake Mix: Heat treat raw cake mix by heating it toto kill bacteria, either by baking in an oven for 5-10 minutes or microwaving in 30-second intervals. Allow the mix to cool completely, then sift to remove lumps before using in no-bake recipes.

Storage: Have leftovers? Store it in the fridge or freezer to enjoy it again later! Tightly wrap your leftover dip with plastic wrap, cling wrap, or saran wrap OR put it in an airtight container and place it in the fridge. Refrigerated Dunkaroo dip will stay good for about a week before it’s time to toss it and make a new batch!
Freezing: You can keep your Easter Dunkaroo dip in the freezer for about 3 months if it is properly sealed. I recommend using a container like this if you plan on freezing it.
