Dunkaroo Waffle Recipe!

I've reached an age where I can say, "Back in my day..." and no one really flinches because I'm getting old. I grew up in the 90's, before social media, cell phones and an easily accessible internet. A child's popularity was based on what kind of snacks you brought to lunch and if you had the newest Lisa Frank gear, not how many followers you had on Instagram. In the mid nineties at my elementary school, only nerds brought fruit to lunch. I mean seriously who would bring apples or grapes to lunch?! The "cool kids" brought cookies, fruit roll-ups, chips, gushers, dunkaroos and anything sugary that could then be used to barter with classmates. How things have changed.

Many of those mid-nineties snacks are no longer made, much to the dismay of older millenials. So we've turned to DIY versions of these nostalgic treats. There have been several recipes posted online of homemade dunkaroo dip and coupling that with my current waffle obsession, my wheels started turning. I started playing around and I made graham cracker flavored waffles topped with my not-so-skinny version of Eat Yourself Skinny's dip and sprinkles, because DUH. 

The dip: 

- 1 Cup of Funfetti or Confetti cake mix, sifted. 

- 1 Cup of Homemade Whipped Cream

- 1 6 oz container of vanilla yogurt. 

The Waffles:

- 2 Eggs
- 2 Cups all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 Cups milk
- 1/4 Cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 Cup of brown sugar
- 4 Teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 Teaspoon salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon of cinnamon
- 2 Teaspoons of molasses
- 2 Tablespoons of honey
- Your favorite sprinkles

First thing's first, I'm the realest. make your dunkaroo dip. Combine the sifted cake mix, whipped cream and vanilla yogurt. Mix well until it's all incorporated then place it in the fridge while you make your waffles.

Preheat your waffle iron. In a large bowl beat the eggs until fluffy. Grab all of the other ingredients and throw them in the bowl. Mix them until smooth.

Spray preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Depending on the size of your waffle maker, pour the waffle mix onto hot waffle iron. Cook until golden brown. If you're cooking for a crowd, keep your waffles warm in the oven until ready to serve.

Top the waffles with a generous scoop of dunkaroo dip and sprinkles. If you're feeling saucy, you can make yourself dunkaroo waffle sandwiches by breaking your waffles apart.

Enjoy!!
