Marinated Pretzels

Easy recipe just like grandma used to make!

Taste great with honey wheat pretzels.

This was pretty good. I put these in little cellophane bags to give out at Christmas time. I do suggest reducing the amount of oil to 1/2. I used 1/4 olive oil and 1/4 vegetable oil. The olive oil taste was strong the first day as someone else had mentioned, but the second day, they tasted much better. I also reduced the garlic powder to 2 tablespoons and it was still a bit too garlicy, in my opinion. I did not have dill weed around, but I will make sure I get some next time. I used to love the oyster crackers made this way and I think it was the dill weed that gave it that yum factor! I will update my review when I try that! I recommend doing these as gifts because I had a couple of gift receivers who were diabetic and they could not eat the cookies that I baked, but they ate these.

I liked the idea of this recipe, but I don't usually have dry ranch dressing mix on hand. I made up the core ingredients of seasoning that's in ranch dressing, used vegetable oil instead of olive (because olive oil tends to be a bit heavy when making snacks like this) and added about a 1/4 c. of grated Parmesan/Romano cheese. Tasty. Good change from your usual pretzel.

This was just ok. I followed the recipe, except I used pretzel sticks. The olive oil seems way to strong, I could taste it in every bite. I would think an oil to just help it all stick to the pretzels would be better, vegetable oil maybe. Definitely cut back on the dill by a tablespoon or so. I love dill, but it was too much. I don't think I will make these again. Edit: By the next day the olive oil soaked in very nicely, blended with all the other flavors, and made this a hit with the family! I guess they just needed to set longer. I think I will still try veg. oil next time, and a little less of it, but I will probably try these again!

To keep it low in cal, I only used 1/2 a cup of olive oil. I also altered it to 1 and 1/2 tbsp. of garlic powder instead of 3 tbsp. delicious!
