These seasoned pretzels are great for a snack at tailgates, parties, for gift giving, or just to have around the house. We always get compliments when making them and a batch never lasts long. I’m sure you can change the seasoning to fit your tastes, but this is how we make them.
Ingredients:
1 bag (15oz) of pretzels. We like mini twists.
1 ranch packet
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon lemon pepper
1.5 teaspoon garlic salt
3/4 cup vegetable oil


Pour the pretzels in a gallon ziploc bag, suitable size Tupperware container, or a bowl with a snug fitting lid. Mix the remaining ingredients in a bowl or cup and pour over the pretzels. Shake the container (or massage ziploc bag) to distribute the seasoning equally.

Let sit for 24 hours so the seasoning has time to soak into the pretzels. During this time be sure to “massage” your bag or shake your container several times to ensure even distribution of seasoning over the pretzels.

My daughter (underage you pervs) is making these to sell for money to buy Christmas gifts.

My wife gets on a "Chex Mix" frenzy this time of year and uses the 3 Chex cereals, pretzels, Goldfish, Cheez Its, peanuts, pecans and mixes her melted butter with all the seasonings she uses and then bakes it on flat sheets at 250 for 60 minutes, mixing it every 20 minutes so it bakes evenly.

It comes out really good and is a hit with the people she gives it out to.

Would olive oil be okay?

These things are like crack. My mom makes them every year and I could put down the entire tub.

Bake or not? I want to try to make these and have seen several recipes that included baking in the oven.

I use pretty much the same recipe with oyster crackers, except I use red pepper flakes instead of cayenne. The Great Value oyster crackers are better than the Premium brand, and I don't bake them. I bag them, shake them around real good, then let them rest for a few hours.

Such a great holiday treat, and if you want to take it up a notch, use Cheez-its.

I made these last year with a similar recipe and they disappeared in two days. The ranch plus cayenne combo works great on mini pretzels. What your daughter is doing is a great idea, this is the kind of snack people buy quickly.

I also make something similar to this called “firecrackers”. I’ve used saltines, ritz, club, wheat thins, and a mixture of them all. I also make a version with mini crackers such as mini-club, oyster, white cheddar cheese-its. They go fast.

• Crackers of your choice
• 1 cup canola oil
• 1 packet of dry ranch dressing
• Crushed red pepper flakes to taste (normally 1-3 tsp)

Fill a gallon glass jar with crackers of your choice- leaving some wiggle room at the top (ritz, captains wafers, saltines, wheat thins, triscuit, etc).
In a measuring cup mix oil and dry ingredients.
Pour oil mixture over and around the crackers evenly.
Secure lid on jar.
Gently “roll” (don’t shake) jar in all directions until oil mixture is absorbed/coated on crackers
