Recipe FAQ
Vanilla, yellow, or even chocolate cake mix will work, just know the flavor will change slightly.
For food safety, you can heat-treat the mix in the oven or microwave, but many people skip this for no-bake treats.
Funfetti dip actually gets better after a short chill in the fridge. Just give it a stir before serving.
Storage Guide
- Make ahead up to 3 days and store in the fridge without the sprinkles. Add those just before serving.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Give it a stir before serving again, and top with fresh sprinkles.
- You can try to freeze leftovers for up to 3 months in an airtight container, but the thawed version might be grainy.
