I’m not the biggest snacker. Mostly because I resist buying snacky things in an effort to prevent snacking. But sometimes you need a good snack around and after first trying these pretzels I was hooked.

Using a spicy Ranch seasoning mix, popcorn oil, and a bag of pretzels, these Spicy Ranch Seasoned Hard Pretzels are easy to throw together. And it can be used on any shape or size of hard pretzel.

I brought these to the movies with my parents and my dad and I managed to eat nearly the entire bag. You would be correct in assuming that they are highly addictive. And perfect for munching on while watching the BCS National Championship game tonight!

If you are making these for a large group (game night anyone?), you may want to double or triple the recipe. You’ll be glad you did because it goes fast!

These sound dangerous. I don’t have too much snack food around either. It doesn’t matter too much to me. But I have been known to really go crazy if something good like these pretzels were to come into my possession.
