# Instructions:
01 -
For food safety, spread the dry cake mix on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated 350°F oven for about 5 minutes until it reaches 165°F. Let it cool completely before using.
02 -
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled cake mix, whipped topping, vanilla yogurt, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, blend everything together for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
03 -
Gently fold in the patriotic sprinkles, being careful not to overmix. Transfer the dip to your serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to set.
04 -
Top with additional sprinkles for decoration and serve alongside your favorite dippers like graham crackers, vanilla wafers, and pretzels. Keep refrigerated and enjoy within a week.
# Notes:
01 -
Toasting the raw cake mix eliminates potential bacteria in flour - the CDC recommends this safety step when using uncooked flour products.
02 -
Some sprinkles may bleed color into the dip. Jimmie-style sprinkles typically bleed less than shaped varieties, and American-made brands like Betty Crocker tend to hold their color better.
03 -
Chilling time is essential for the best texture and flavor - it allows the dip to thicken and the flavors to meld beautifully.
04 -
Look for natural, dye-free sprinkles if you prefer to avoid artificial food coloring.
