Spicy Party Pretzels

These are so delicious. Addictive actually. I like to use a mixture of butter and oil for more flavor and add a hefty dose of Sriracha because things are never hot enough for me. I use 20oz of waffle shaped pretzels (that shape seems to do a better job of "trapping" the seasoning).I bake them at 250 degrees for about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through and it seems to work fine. If not eating them immediately, I let them cool down before putting in a zipper bag, where the flavor seems to get better after a few days, in my opinion. One final note: I have been short on pretzels before and threw in a few Cheez-It's- worked great (I almost liked them better-you can see them in my pic).

This was a super easy recipe!! I've done it a couple times and every time it's a hit. I used the Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning from a 8 ox container so I only added 2 1/2 cups (about a 2/3 of what's required), a little more cayenne pepper (I love hot foods) and the required garlic salt. Mixed it all in a bowl and baked it at 350 for 20 mins. Let them cool and put them in a ziplock bag to go. I was super pressed for time before work so I rushed it. It still was awesome!!

We loved them! You might want to use powdered garlic instead because they were a bit salty. And also, cut down the oil. Baked it at 250 for 45 min.
