Oh how I miss the delicious snacks of the 90s! One of them being the incredible Dunkaroos. While many of my friends LOVED the Chocolate dipped version, I couldn’t help but always steer towards the Cinnamon Graham Dunkaroos. I’ve always thought they were discontinued forever, but according to the internet, They are very much still being made in the Canada factory that manufactures them. Being that I’ve searched everywhere and refuse to pay $13 for a pack of 5 Dunkaroos, I’m here to bring you an Easy DIY recipe for the Dunkaroos Dip with the one ingredient that makes it super sweet and many others miss!!
First off I’d like to state that I tried this recipe the regular way with the “3 Ingredients” that everyone writes about, but I did NOT like the taste. I mean it was good, but did not give me that nostalgic feeling that I was hoping for. So I thought “why not experiment?” Being that almost EVERYONE has Vanilla Extract in the kitchen, I grabbed ours. We bring ours straight from the Dominican republic. I don’t know if there’s a difference, but it’s what we’ve Always Used! The results? Oh So Nostalgically Sweet!
What You Need:
- Funfetti Cake Mix
- 1.5 – 2 Cups of Plain Yogurt
- Half container of Cool Whip
- Teddy Grahams (Any Flavor you desired will work)
- 1/2 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
- Sprinkles
- Mixing Bowl
- Mixing spoon
2) Cover the bowl and place in your refrigerator. Let it cool for 4 hours.
3) After it has cooled, take it out of the fridge and add the Vanilla Extract. Mix. Taste. If you love the keep as is. If you want it a little sweeter, add another 1/2 teaspoon.
Voila! Now you’re ready to put it in a nice dipping bowl and dip your Teddy Grahams in. Nothing will ever be as amazing as the original, but this is surely a CLOSE 2nd. My daughter Loved the snack and I was happy to have a Trudeau FUEL Snack & Dip on hand so that she could take it to school.
This looks yummy and I'm sure my granddaughters would love this. They'll have loads of fun making this.
My kid would love this for sure. As for getting him to make it, PSHT! Looks like you have a great daughter 🙂
Most of the snacks I ate in the 90s I still occasionally eat today. Ding Dongs. But I also ate those in the 70s and 80s too. They are my favorite!
How fun! I used to love those as a kid!
I never had these but sure would have it I had known about them… thank you for sharing…
This is so fun and I'm sure any kid would love it. I've never heard of dunkaroos.
Wow, my son will surely love that. I used to ate similar with those when I was a kid.
Wow who knew?! This would be fun for a kids party. I never ate these as a kid but I had friends who had them for lunch all the time.
What a simple, easy but delicious treat! My nieces would love making this next time they are over!
My mom NEVER let me have these when I was growing up. She was a dental hygienist, it definitely put a damper on the sweet snacks 🙂 I do miss all the music though! Grunge right through to bubblegum pop!
My brothers loved this snack growing up. I always thought the frosting was too sweet..I was that weird kid that didn't like super sweet snacks. My 5 year old would love this!
I have a friend that LOVES Dunkaroos and misses them so bad. I will have to share this with her.
Growing up in a different part of the world, I have never heard of them until now … I'd love to try though 🙂
I almost forgot about the Dunkaroos. They were my favorite as a kid! I'll definitely have to try this recipe sometime.
My kids would love something like this. I remember enjoying these when I was younger.
Great recipe, it is so fun to go retro (especially with food) so this will be an interesting one to try!
Oh how much fun did she have helping in the kitchen!! Looks like a great time and well, a fun snack too 🙂
I totally forgot about Dunkaroos! I loved them as a kid and my son would love them too. Such a fun after school snacks!
I was a huge fan of the 'Choco-taco'. I still see them around once in a while but they seem so tiny now!
If I ate any of the stuff I ate in the 90's today I would probably be very, very large! lol
My daughter loved Dunkaroos as a kid. They were for special occasions only and so she didn't have a lot. We did buy them for her soccer team once. We were pretty much heroes.
Such a cute idea! Pretty sure I loved these as a kid too.
I remember dunkaroos. How cool i can make my own now for the kids.
Wow I remember my daughter begging me to buy this years ago when she was little. I'll have to show her this!
I have never had Dunkaroos before and it looks so delicious and fun to make. I need to make this with my daughter. She would love it.
They weren't around when I was a kid (50 years ago). Can't say that I miss anything about the 90s.

This recipe looks fun. Love this idea
I grew up in different country so i'm new to dunkaroos. It would be great fun for kids with they could prepare their own snack dip. I'm sure my daughter would enjoy it! Thanks for sharing.
