'I dare you' is a normal reply of challenge.
May be in colloquial English ,people, in reply to the above, say "I double dare you."

"Go on, I dare you."
"I don't dare to say"
" How dare you write without my permission."
The above are some of the normal patterns in which 'dare' is used.

This is the sort of expression that children would use to each other when they are challenging each other to do things that involve risk and mischief. It would be a kind of extra dare.
