Ingredients You’ll Need

You’ll only need a handful of pantry staples plus a few spooky extras to make this dip scream Halloween in the best way:

• 1 box of white cake mix
• 5 oz container of Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla works great)
• 8 oz whipped topping, thawed (like Cool Whip)
• Purple food coloring (or mix red + blue)
• Halloween sprinkles and decorations of your choice
• Cookies, pretzels, or fruit for dipping (Nilla Wafers, graham crackers, apple slices…go wild!)

How to Make Halloween Dunkaroo Dip (In 5 Easy Steps)

Here’s how to whip up this boo-tiful dip in no time:

1. Sift That Cake Mix
   Pour your white cake mix into a medium-sized mixing bowl and give it a good sift. This helps avoid lumps so your dip stays silky-smooth. Trust me, no one wants a flour bomb in their bite.
2. Add the Creamy Goodness
   Dump in your Greek yogurt, whipped topping, and a few drops of purple food coloring. Adjust the shade depending on your mood—lavender for a subtle witchy vibe, or neon purple for full monster mode.
3. Stir It Like a Potion
   Mix it all together with a wooden spoon until everything’s fully combined. It should be light, fluffy, and ready for its Halloween transformation. Channel your inner potion master—it’s all part of the fun.
4. Chill Out
   Cover your bowl and pop it in the fridge for a few hours. This helps the flavors meld and the texture firm up a bit. Plus, it gives you time to throw on a costume or sneak a few gummy worms. No judgment.
5. Decorate and Serve
   When you’re ready to serve, scoop it into a festive bowl (plastic cauldron from the Dollar Tree? Yes please!). Top with sprinkles, gummy eyeballs, candy bones, or even crushed Oreos for a graveyard look. My last-minute fave? Chocolate jimmies, gummy worms, and candy pumpkins. Looks like a spooky garden party, tastes like heaven.

Tips for Dunkaroo Dip Success

• Worried about raw cake mix?
  You can microwave the dry mix for 1–2 minutes to kill off any potential bacteria before mixing it in.
• Need to prep ahead?
  Make the base a day early and decorate right before serving. It stays fluffy and fresh in the fridge.
• Looking for dippers?
  Go sweet or salty! Graham crackers, vanilla wafers, pretzels, apple slices, or even those Halloween-shaped sugar cookies from the grocery store.
• Let kids decorate their own
  Make a little “decorate-your-dip” station! Mini bowls of toppings = occupied kiddos + Instagram-worthy snacks.
