Spicy Ranch Pretzels (No Bake)
Irresistible No Bake Spicy Ranch Pretzels! No baking required, just toss in a bag! A go-to favorite for the holidays, camping, road trips, and more! They also make a great gift! 
Ingredients
- 16 ounce bag of mini pretzels
- ¾ cup vegetable oil (or canola)
- 1 packet (1 ounce) ranch seasoning salad dressing mix (use a seasoning packet for salad dressing, NOT dip)
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper
- 1 ½ teaspoons garlic salt
Instructions
- Pour the bag of pretzels in a gallon ziplock bag.
- In a measuring cup, add the oil and all the seasonings - mix well.
- Pour the oil and spice mixture over the pretzels in the bag. Seal the bag tightly and gently shake/tossing/turning to ensure all pretzels are evenly coated.
- Allow the pretzels to marinate in the bag for 3 hours. During this time, gently shake/toss/turn the bag about every 30 minutes to ensure the pretzels are evenly coated.
- After 3 hours, they're ready to enjoy!
- Store pretzels in an airtight container or ziplock bag at room temperature for up to 7 days - if they last that long!
Notes
PLEASE NOTE: Baking is not required. These pretzels are crunchy, not wet or oily. During the 3-hours "marinating" in the bag, the pretzels absorb the oil, resulting in crunchy goodness.
Some people insist on baking the pretzels. If you feel you must bake them, bake at 250°F for 10–15 minutes on a baking sheet.
