Red, White & Yum: A Patriotic Funfetti Dip for the Fourth of July
The Fourth of July is one of the best parts of summer break – no work, no school, just celebrating with family and friends. While some may say that their favorite part of July 4th is the fireworks, I personally think that the food is so. much. better. than the fireworks! While fireworks are impressive and bring out all the “oohs” and “awwws,” there is nothing better than the smell of grilled food, endless desserts, and fun Fourth of July-themed snacks. If you prefer the fireworks to the food, this delicious patriotic funfetti dip just might change your mind!

Boxed cake mix has raw flour in it, so we want to heat treat it for our funfetti dip. Spread the boxed cake mix out evenly on a large baking sheet. Bake it for 5 minutes at 350 degrees. Ensure the cake mix isn’t too hot before moving on.
2. Mix the Ingredients
Add the cake mix, cool whip, and yogurt to your large mixing bowl. Whisk the ingredients until combined.
3. Add the Sprinkles
Fold in your red, white, and blue sprinkles using a spatula or spoon.
4. Serve your Fourth of July Treat
Serve your funfetti dip with cookies, crackers, or your favorite snacks! The best part of this dip is that it tastes amazing with everything! It would be so fun to create a Fourth of July charcuterie board with this dip. Place the dip in a bowl in the middle of the charcuterie board and surround it with different snacks to dip!
