It was a tragic day when Dunkaroos were discontinued in the U.S. But don’t turn into a #sadboy because your favorite ’90s snack is hard to come by. Instead, resurrect the cinnamon graham cracker cookies and magical sprinkle frosting in your own kitchen with the Dunkaroos copycat recipe below.
The best part of Dunkaroos was, without a doubt, the frosting littered with sprinkles—so make yourself a double batch and spread it on literally everything. If you eat it with a spoon when no one’s looking, well, that’s your prerogative.

- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 ½ teaspoons clear imitation vanilla
- 1 pinch salt
