Pretzel Pastry Pigs with Hard Cider Cheddar Cheese Sauce

One of the first ideas I became obsessed with when planning for Super Bowl were these pastry pigs wrapped in pretzel dough, quickly followed by making some kind of cheese sauce to dip them in. Cheese dips with beer are understandably very popular that time of year, but the idea of apples and cheese intrigued me. Could I accomplish something similar using a hard cider? The answer is yes.

    Honestly this made me so hungry. I’m not sure which I’d first because they all look so good but I have a thing for spice so I guess the spicy one and the jalapeño one would likely be the first but I’d have bit of them all if I was given the chance.

    Yuuum! I felt like I just needed a bite. I love hot dogs and I’ve tried making them at home too. But wait…I am yet to try buffalo sauce! That should bring such a new taste to the hotdog. Hope I find some buffalo sauce over here and try that out.
