Sunnys Honey Dijon Pretzel Dip Recipes

SUNNY'S NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN DIP

Steps:

• Mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, paprika and scallions in a bowl. Taste, then season with salt and pepper. Serve chilled.

SUNNY'S BACON-WRAPPED HONEY DIJON TURKEY BREAST

Steps:

• For the brine: Add the salt, sugar and 1 cup warm water to a medium bowl. Whisk until the granules dissolve. Add the turkey, then transfer everything to a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate for 8 hours or up to overnight.
• For the coating: Add the mustard, mayonnaise, honey and thyme to a small bowl. Stir to combine.
• Remove the turkey from the brine, then pat dry and let rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Slather half the coating over the top side of each breast. To wrap the turkey, lay 6 slices of bacon parallel to each other, overlapping slightly, on a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Place a turkey breast, coated-side down, in the middle of the strips, oriented perpendicularly to the bacon. Cover the bottom of the turkey with more coating. Use the parchment or plastic wrap to lift all of the bacon over and around the breast, overlapping the ends. Roll over and release from the parchment, then place on a baking sheet outfitted with a wire rack, bacon-seam-side down. Sprinkle generously with black pepper. Repeat with the remaining bacon and turkey breast.
• Roast the turkey until a meat thermometer reads about 160 degrees F, about 1 hour. Remove and cover lightly with aluminum foil. Let rest for 10 to 15 minutes, then carve into 1-inch slices.

SUNNY'S EASY HUSH PUPPIES WITH A HOT HONEY DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• For the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the cornbread mix and seasoning blend, breaking up any clumps in the mix. Add the creamed corn and eggs and stir to combine gently; the mixture should be scoopable but hold its form. (Think the perfect ice cream ball.) Allow to rest in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
• For the frying: In a large pot or fryer, bring at least 2 inches of peanut oil to 375 degrees F. Using 2 spoons or a medium ice cream scoop, scoop out some batter and slowly lower it into the oil. Drop in a few more and cook, flipping if needed, until the hush puppies float and are golden all around, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove to a wire rack over a baking sheet and season with a sprinkle of salt. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• For the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, hot sauce and sugar. Use as a dipping sauce for the hush puppies.

SUNNY'S EASY CARAMEL APPLE CHEESECAKE DIP

Steps:

• For the dip: Fold together the cream cheese and marshmallow creme in a medium bowl. Transfer to a plastic bag and refrigerate until chilled, about 20 minutes.
• Line up four 9-ounce clear cups. Add a spoonful of the graham cracker crust crumbs to each, followed by a drizzle of the caramel dip. Next, snip a hole in one corner of the bag with the cream cheese mixture and pipe in about an inch of the mixture; top with half an inch of the apple pie filling. Repeat the steps one more time or until the cups are filled, ending with one final crumble of the graham cracker crust crumbs on top. Serve immediately with your favorite dippers, or chill until served.

SUNNY'S HAM AND CHEESE BISCUITS WITH HONEY DIJON BUTTER

Steps:

• For the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the self-rising flour in a large bowl and toss with the cheese and ham. Grate the butter into the flour mixture. Pour in the buttermilk and mix gently with a wooden spoon. Once the dough comes together, turn it out onto a floured surface, divide it into 8 equal balls and pat them down lightly.
• Put the balls in a cast-iron pan or on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Bake until brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
• For the butter: In a bowl, mix together the butter, honey and mustard.
• When the biscuits are done, brush some of the butter over the tops. Serve the biscuits with the remaining butter and the preserves.

SUNNY'S SPICY TOMATO DIP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium pot or pan over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to swirl, add the tomatoes and capers and cook, stirring intermittently, so the tomato skins begin to sear and brown. Once the skins begin to burst, add the onions and red chili flakes. Season everything with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook, lightly stirring, until the onions are tender and the tomatoes release their juices, mashing them gently as you stir. Add the tomato paste, basil and garlic. Stir and cook until the tomato paste blends into everything, about 5 minutes. Lower the heat and simmer until the garlic is tender, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the basil leaves and discard. Pour the contents into a blender or use an immersion blender to blitz everything until smooth. Refrigerate and serve chilled as a dip.

DIJON-BACON DIP FOR PRETZELS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, bacon and horseradish. Cover and chill until serving. Serve with pretzels.
