Expert Tips for Making This Recipe
- Cookies: Cookies, like vanilla wafers, aren’t the only thing you can dip into dunkaroo dip. Animal crackers, graham crackers, teddy grahams, fruit, and pretzels would be great too.
- Gently Mix: Mix until well combined, but do not overmix. Overmixing will make the dip sticky.

- Hand Mix: Use a spoon to mix this easy dessert dip recipe. A hand mixer will likely overmix this recipe and make it sticky.
