Top your homemade soft pretzels with one of these delicious sweet or savory Pretzel Dipping Sauces for the perfect party appetizer.
One of our favorite Super Bowl appetizers are fresh and warm soft pretzels with a fun selection of dipping sauces. If you are not in the mood or don’t have time to make soft pretzels you can pick up a bag of store bought pretzels. They word well with the sauces too. Or you can buy soft pretzels in the freezer section of your grocery store.
I made four different dipping sauces. Two sweet and two savory.
Dulce de Leche
I was so excited to find dulce de leche in the jar at World Market. I have not been able to find it anywhere in Portland and have had to make my own. Now I’ve got a quicker and easier alternative.
Dulce de leche right out of the jar makes an amazing pretzel dipping sauce! You can always make your own if you want using my Crockpot Dulce de Leche recipe.
Chocolate Cream Dipping Sauce
Another one that is almost as easy is the Chocolate Cream Dipping Sauce. I purchased a jar of Dark Chocolate Spread (it’s from Holland) and combined it with some whipped cream. I whipped a cup of cream and then added in 3 Tbsp of the chocolate spread. Easy and delicious! This one would also be delicious straight out of the jar but I liked the little lighter version you get with the whipped cream added.
Spicy Cheese Dipping Sauce
You can’t have pretzel dipping sauces without a cheese sauce. For this one I purchased the Swiss cheese fondue from World Market and then spiced it up a bit with some dry mustard, garlic and hot sauce for a spicy cheese sauce
Sweet Mustard Dipping Sauce
And finally there was a sweet mustard sauce. I used a dijon mustard combined with some garlic. Easy and delicious!

Thanks! Love World Market!!
Everything looks so great. I really enjoy how you decorate the tables and the ideas you share. I also appreciate knowing the places you get your decorations and serving pieces. I live in a small area and we do not have a Cost Plus World Market but I saw they have online sales so I am going to check it out and maybe some of the items you used to decorate will be available online. Thanks so much for sharing.
Hopefully you can find some of the things online. It’s a great store!
Oh my gosh Leigh Anne, I love this idea. What a great non-alcoholic football party. I totally pinned this and will put this on my teenage boy party ideas…my oldest is eight. So we can see if I can wait until then to throw this type of party.
FUN!
Would be a totally fun birthday party idea for a teenage boy!! Enjoy.
What a great idea! I love the bottle idea 😉 I’m a new follower 😉
Welcome to the blog Jamie! Hope you will visit often.
What a fun idea for a football party! I love how you drew up a play on the big chalkboard 🙂 I’m pinning this so I remember it in a few weeks!
Thanks Megan! Thank goodness for Google images because I had no idea how to do it!
Love this…I’m going to incorporate some for my husband’s 30th beer tasting bash! Do you remember how much the bowls and chalkboards were?
The little chalkboard signs were $1.99 I believe and the square bowls were $3.99 each.
Jenn F, just wondering is this your husband’s 30th beer tasting bash or a beer tasting bash for his 30th birthday? Either way having a beer tasting party sounds like an awesome idea.
