Mrs. Fields Secrets

Let’s celebrate the dog days of summer with a hot dog party! Hot dogs are coming back in style in a big way, popping up on gourmet menus and trendy food trucks, dressed up in endless creative combinations. Feature them at your next party with a toppings bar and let your guests go wild creating their own unique concoctions. I’ve got some fun ideas to get you started.

Create a Toppings Bar

Start with good quality hot dogs and buns, and offer them as a delicious blank canvas for guests. Have a table with various toppings like:

• ketchup
• mustard
• relish
• diced onions
• diced tomatoes
• chili
• cheese
• cole slaw
• pickles
• dried cranberries
• siracha hot sauce
• sour cream
• fried onion straws
• caramelized onions
• sweet peppers
• hot peppers
• salsa
• guacamole
• sauerkraut
• russian dressing
• honey mustard dressing
• ranch dressing
• Thai peanut sauce
• sprouts
• picked onions
• crushed potato chips
• sweet and sour sauce
• crushed pineapple
• crunchy asian noodles
• buffalo sauce
• crumbled blue cheese
• mashed potatoes
• crumbled bacon
• barbecue sauce
• spicy mustard
• jalapeño peppers
• diced green chilis
• shredded lettuce
• avocado slices
• season salt

Make It a Game

Invite guests to create and name their special dog, then have a panel of judges determine the top dog. Judge according to taste, creativity, and naming.

End On a Sweet Note

Create a hot dog themed dessert, like these cookies or cupcakes.

Hot dog! Doesn’t this sound fun?
