Better than Wendy's Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

Once upon a time I was fortunate enough to live next door to a Wendy’s.  I bought dinner there just about every night.  Why?  Well, I was a 20 something, it was close, it was cheap and I had a love affair going on with the honey mustard dipping sauce.  A double stack with cheese plain, a value fry and 3 honey mustard dipping sauces was dinner almost every night.  All for $2, thankyouverymuch!


I used to just dip my fries in the sauce.  Then one day it occurred to me that if I ordered the burger plain, I could dip it in the sauce too.  Oh how I love that sauce.  To date, I have never found a honey mustard dipping sauce at a fast food place that I like.  Nothing can compare.  I remember before they started charging for sauce, I would even get extra and store them in my pantry. 

You would be surprised at all the things that can be dipped into honey mustard and how many sandwiches are so much better with honey mustard.  Well, last week I made chicken nuggets for Munchkin.  She asked for some “dippin’ sauce” and quite frankly the thought of ketchup and chicken nuggets kinda makes me gag.

I remembered bookmarking a recipe for honey mustard that looked promising.  I was skeptical, but oh my, it is better than I hoped for.  That honey mustard sauce is sweet, mustardy, and perfectly delicious.  We devoured the whole first batch and made a double batch after dinner. I was hoping for a copycat of Wendy's.  It is even better than that.  I have big plans for that honey mustard sauce.  Just wait until you see what I did with it next!

Enjoy.  With love from our Kitchen Table to yours.  XOXO
