Ingredients for Honey Mustard Pretzel Dip
- Mayonnaise – Regular mayo is best! I haven’t tested this with low-fat versions, but I suspect it would negatively effect the flavor.
- Sugar – This adds a touch of sweetness to balance out the salty flavor. I recommend using a high quality cane sugar for the best results.
- Garlic powder – Add flavor to this dip with a sprinkle of garlic powder.
- Honey mustard – Pick your favorite brand. I’ve used several over the years, and pretty much any kind works.
- Vegetable oil – You can use olive oil or avocado oil in place of vegetable oil.
- Pretzel sticks for dipping – Really, any kind of pretzel will work!
Helpful Tools
How to Make Honey Mustard Pretzel Dip
Place all of the dip ingredients in a large bowl and whisk the mixture until well combined.
Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve it.
It’s really that simple to make! Enjoy!
How to Store Honey Mustard Dip
Transfer leftover dip to an airtight container and store for 3-4 days. I do not recommend freezing leftover dip.
What to Serve with Pretzel Dip
Pretzel sticks and soft pretzels, or soft pretzel bites, pair beautifully with this dip. But if you can also serve other appetizers to go alongside this pretzel dip recipe.
Ham and cheese sliders are hot, cheesy, and go great with mustard! We love our veggie pizza because it goes with pretty much everything.
Or serve up some french fries or sweet potato fries with honey mustard dipping sauce. Kids would love dunking homemade air fryer chicken nuggets in this delicious dip too!
Bacon-wrapped chicken bites are always a hit when we make them! Or make a batch of ham pickle roll-ups for a cold appetizer.
You can even spread this on sandwiches, hamburgers or use it as a part of a marinade pork and poultry.
What to do with leftover honey mustard dip
Have some leftover dip that you need to use? Mix it with a bit of oil and vinegar to make a salad dressing or marinade. The flavors pair well with white wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar and white vinegar. I love making tangy vinaigrettes for a hearty salad! And marinated chicken is a great way to add lots of flavor too.
Can I use homemade honey mustard?
Absolutely! One way to make this pretzel dip recipe even more flavorful is to use homemade honey mustard. You can make honey mustard with yellow mustard, but spicy and dijon mustard are also tasty. Then mix it with some honey, sea salt and other seasonings and it’s ready to use in this dip recipe!
Pro Tips for the Best Honey Mustard Pretzel Dip
- Make it ahead for the best results. I think it tastes best after it’s been chilled in the fridge for a few hours. It gives it time to set and also for the flavors to mix and meld together.
- Be sure to mix thoroughly so the sugar completely dissolves in the dip. Otherwise, you may notice a grainy texture.
- Feel free to use a stand mixer with whisk attachment to easily mix this dip together and cut down on prep time even more.
Make this pretzel dip recipe the next time you need an appetizer to please a crowd! No one can resist it – sometimes I double the batch so we don’t run out!

It could be good, but it’s WAY too sweet. I ended up adding more mustard and some horseradish just to balance it out.

I’m glad you could adjust it to your liking!

Oh my gosh- there are SO many Ads and pop ups that I couldn’t even get the recipe! Might’ve been good but I got too frustrated so I won’t be visiting again.
Courtney says
The ads are our way of being able to provide free recipes! We understand they do get in the way sometimes but if you hit the refresh button new ads and locations will appear.
Michelle says
This dip had potential but it is way too sweet. We reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup and it was still too much. We could tell how the flavor combination is good but next time we will reduce the sugar even more to just give a hint of sweetness instead of overwhelming sweetness.
Courtney says
We love this dip recipe. Sorry to hear you think its too sweet. Glad you were able to adjust to your tastebuds!
Jane says
This is outstanding…..if you want a sweet dip! Love it!

So glad you enjoyed it Jane! It’s always a hit wherever I bring it!

Andrea says
I expected a mustardy, savory dip, but this was like lemonade with a hint of mustard. It was very sweet and sour with not much flavor. I won’t be making this again. 🙁
Julie Evink says
I’m sorry this recipe wasn’t to your expectation Andrea.
Lynn says
What is the name brand of the honey mustard that you used?
Michelle Sperr says
Thanks for your question Lynn. I’d suggest using any honey mustard brand that you like. I’ve made it with many different brands over the years and always love it!
KK says
This site has so many pop-ups and ads that you cannot view a recipe. Not worth the frustration as I can’t even view what I am typing! Do you really care about the ability to use your recipes or are you just getting paid? Don’t blame my settings…..
Julie says
I’m sorry to hear that! The ads should not be overwhelming. You can try using the Print Recipe feature that will bring up an ad free version of the recipe!
Audrey Crowell says
I had no problem at all. Although I have ad blocker on.
Julie Evink says
Hey Audrey! I know that ads can be annoying, but remember you are accessing content that is free and therefore those ads help to pay for bringing you that content. It costs to produce quality recipes that are tested, with helpful tips, videos and much more!
Debbie says
Love the taste of this dip but it’s so gooey and messy. Is there something I’m doing wrong?
Julie says
I’m not sure, try refrigerating first before eating, that will help firm it up a bit!
Alissa says
Silly question but how do you get the sugar mixed in? My texture is all grainy
Julie says
Refrigerate it for 30 mins to an hour, the sugar should break down with the other ingredients and it should be a smooth mixture.
Ann Cruser says
I LOVE this recipe. DELISH!!!!!
Julie Evink says
YAY! So easy and addictive!
Bill says
This is really good however I had to cut the recipe in half. I also added 1 Tsp of dijon mustard. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
Jeff says
I love Honey Mustard and feel like this could also go well with a savory dish as well (chicken perhaps?). Thank you Julie!
Julie Evink says
It would be excellent with a savory dish like chicken! I would just cut down the recipe!
