Funfetti Dip

Do you remember the old Dunkaroo dips? They had little graham crackers, and vanilla frosting with sprinkles. I couldn't get my mom to buy them very often, but I loved those things. So, when I stumbled across something that claimed to taste like it... I jumped on that. 

I will say that this funfetti cake mix dip isn't QUITE how I remember the Dunkaroo dips tasting, but it's pretty close. Close as I'm going to get, at least.

Unless someone happens to be going to Canada and wants to bring me back some... because apparently those things are still available in Canada. It might be the pregnancy hormones talking, but I am seriously tempted to order some. (But, the least expensive is $8 for a 5 pack... I think I'll have to refrain. I don't think Nate would be understanding of that...)

Anyways, back to the dip: this stuff is GOOD. It does make a ton though, so unless you are feeding a crowd and can pawn the leftovers off on someone, I really recommend cutting the recipe in half.

Remember, comments are loved! What's your favorite childhood treat that you like to remake?

Dirt Cake

I've tried different type of dirt dessert recipes over the years, but I've never been fully satisfied with one I've found... til now.

This is perfect. I seriously wouldn't change anything about this recipe! (Well, except for the calorie content...) If you really wanted to cut down on the calories, you could try cutting out some of the Oreos, using light cream cheese, skim milk, etc. However... this is worth the calories. 

I made this for Easter with my extended family (thus the Peeps, eggs, and green sprinkles), but you really don't need to decorate it unless it's for a holiday. I'm considering making this again soon just for a random Wednesday or something. Or possibly just because baby says it sounds good. ;) 

Remember, comments are loved! Do you have a favorite dirt dessert recipe?
