  • For the honey mustard dip, combine ingredients in a small bowl.
  • For the raspberry cream cheese, combine cream cheese, sugar and lemon zest in a small bowl until smooth. Swirl in raspberry preserves.
  • For the pretzel tree, gently push a toothpick into each pretzel ball, then push the other end of the toothpick into the styrofoam “tree.” Stagger the pretzel branches to help the pretzel balls fit better.
