This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of McCormick & Company. The opinions and text are mine.
As many of you know, football is BIG business around here. Keith is a former college football player, and I’m raising three equally enthusiastic little fans. When playoff season and the Big Game roll around, we’re definitely ready to celebrate!
Sometimes our parties include friends, and other years we just throw a few blankets on the floor of the living room and enjoy the sport with our immediate family. We don’t need a crowd in order to celebrate — especially when there’s plenty of good food involved!
My boys love nothing more than snacking in front of the TV, so I’m always on the lookout for easy, quick-prep options that everyone can enjoy.
When I saw these Jalapeño Pretzel Dogs, I knew that they would be the perfect solution for any game day gathering. Best of all, you only need a few basic ingredients — and you can find them all at Kroger!
Can we discuss these French’s®️ Crispy Jalapeños for a second?
They are perfectly spicy, crunchy and made with real jalapeños. The jalapeños are so good on top of salads, nachos, chili, and even casseroles, adding a kick to all of your favorite meals!
They are also a perfect crispy topping for these pretzel dogs!
Dips For Your Pretzel Dogs
Don’t forget to serve dipping sauces on the side, too! These are hotdogs, after all…
We love French’s Ketchup because it’s non-GMO, it has no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives, and it doesn’t contain any high-fructose corn syrup or gluten.
The French’s Classic Yellow Mustard is “America’s Best Loved Mustard” because it’s made with #1 grade mustard seeds and includes no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. It’s a condiment that we can feel good about feeding our family.
Tips For Making These Pretzel Dogs;
- Try spreading the pretzel dough with mustard or ketchup before rolling up
- You could also try adding grated cheddar to them before rolling for cheesy pretzel dogs
- I used ketchup and mustard but when it comes to dips the list is endless…knock yourself out!

Jalapeño Pretzel Dogs

- 1 can refrigerated pizza dough (11 oz.)
- 12 hot dogs
- 3 Tbsp. baking soda
- water
- 5 oz. French's Crispy Jalapeños crushed

- BRING a large pot of water to a boil. Add hot dogs and boil for 3 minutes. Once hot dogs are cooked, allow to cool enough to handle.
- WHILE cooking hot dogs, roll out pizza dough and cut into 12 - 1/2 inch strips lengthwise. (There may be dough leftover; twist into bread sticks and bake) Spread crushed jalapeños in pie dish.
- LADLE one cup of the boiling water from the hot dogs into a bowl big enough to fit hot dogs. Add baking soda and stir until dissolved.
- WRAP each hot dog with one strip of dough, twisting it around and back. Leave a 1/2 inch space at each end. When hot dogs are wrapped, carefully dip each into water mixture being sure to cover.
- GENTLY roll each hot dog in crushed jalapeños and place on baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Bake until browned on top. Serve with ketchup and mustard for dipping.
Just when I thought pretzel dogs couldn’t get any more delicious. These look SO stinking good- drooling already!
I know, right?! The jalapenos kicked it up a notch! 🙂
Looks like what I will make for the Super Bowl Party! Thanks!
Awesome! Enjoy, MaryAlice! They’re perfectly SPICY! 🙂
WOW! These sound great! I am definitely looking for the jalapenos! Do you really need to boil the hot dogs though? won’t the bake time cook them enough?
The recipe comes from the French’s website, which suggests boiling the hotdogs first. That said, I have also tried the recipe by just warming the hotdogs in the microwave for a few seconds instead, and that worked well (and was easier and faster). It would probably be fine to not heat them at all first, but I have not actually done that myself. 🙂
Holy yum! These look INCREDIBLE! What an awesome idea!
So, so good!!!
Why the baking soda wash on the hot dogs?
Hi, Pamela! It causes a chemical reaction that results in darker pretzels on the outside with a shorter cooking time (which keeps the dough inside soft). 🙂 Baking science!
Omg Blair you’re literally ruining my diet over here haha. I’ve never had a pretzel dog before but all I know is I need one in my face now!
I know, right?! Such a treat! 🙂
