Ranch Pretzels

I am addicted to pinterest! Any free time I get, I check pinterest. Last week I found a recipe for ranch pretzels and thought I would give it a try!

Here's what they end up looking like!

All you need is 4 ingredients!

Dry Ranch mix
(I bought the cheap best choice branch and it was only $.75 compared to the name brand that was almost $2.00)
Vegetable Oil
Bag of Pretzels
(You can get sticks, mini, original, whatever)
Garlic Powder


To start, just pour the pretzels into a big gallon sized ziplock baggy. 
Then add 3/4 cup of oil into the bag and shake it to cover all the pretzels
Pour in the packet of dry ranch
I added about 2 tablespoons of garlic powder to mine, but you can add more or less, depending on how much you like garlic
Mix it all up again. 


Place it on a cookie sheet and put it in the oven at 200 degrees for 20 minutes. 
Let them cool and enjoy!


Let me know if you have any questions or comments!
