Products Needed
How to Make It
Place all of the ingredients (except for the pretzel sticks) in a large bowl and mix until well combined.
Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve it.
Pro Tips
Be sure to mix thoroughly so the sugar completely dissolves in the dip. Otherwise, you may notice a grainy texture.
Make it ahead for the best results. I think it tastes best after it’s been chilled for a few hours. It gives it time to set and also for the flavors to mix and meld together.
It will keep well in the refrigerator for three to four days. Just make sure it’s in an air tight container.
It’s also a great soft pretzel dip!

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

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!
