I just recently got this recipe from my cousin Carol, who got it from a friend, who probably got it from a friend. Does that sound like a recipe chain?? Well, this is how great recipes get shared! Once I found out how easy this was, I have made it several times over. I would now like to share it with all of you!
I don’t know what the name of this was, but I guess for now I would call them Ranch Pretzels.
3 - 4 pkgs Rold Gold Honey Wheat Pretzels (I preferred 3 packages)
1/3 c olive oil
1/3 c popcorn oil (Orville Redinbacher butter flavored oil)
2 T dill weed
2 T garlic powder
1 pkg Ranch dressing dry mix (not the dip one)Place pretzels in a 2 gallon Ziploc bag. Add oils and close the bag. Shake or toss the bag until the pretzels seem like they are evenly coated.
I mix the dill weed, garlic powder and ranch dressing mix in a bowl, so that when I add it to the bag, it will be evenly distributed. Add the dry ingredients and again shake or ‘massage’ the pretzels. When they again seem evenly coated, place them on a cookie sheet pan or any big pan to let air dry for about an hour. These pretzels hold up their crispiness even in our humidity, so don’t worry, they won’t get stale while they are being air dried. Store in airtight containers.
Didn’t I say that this was easy? The sweetness of the honey wheat pretzel and the saltiness from the ranch dressing and that touch of dill weed make this a very tasty pretzel. This would make a great munchie while watching your weekend football game…oh and with your favorite beer too .. haha!
Note: I had a hard time finding the popcorn oil. Foodland didn’t carry it, Safeway had them but I must have bought their last bottle since the shelf has been empty for awhile … but I did find it at Walmart, which also had the pretzels for a cheaper price than the markets.

These pretzels are like an explosion of flavors in your mouth! Thank you so much for the sample, it was absolutely delicious! I assumed I would have to prepare it like the type of party mix you have to mix, bake, cool, etc. I can’t even tell you how shocked and excited I was after I read the recipe! It really does sound easy to prepare and I can’t wait to make them! This will make for some awesome and tasty treat bags for Christmas around the office! Thank you again for sharing Lindy!

I purchased one of your recipe kits and really am enjoying it. Love the spicy soybean recipe and made for a party.
I saw in the paper a recipe for the Ranch Pretzel that you shared. It was a recipe that showed what could be used if we could not find popcorn oil - haven’t been able to find it anywhere. I think you gave the measurement for using butter extract. Can you share it again? Thank you!
