Are you addicted yet?  Oh, you will be soon enough. These seasoned gems are flavored to the core.  It just takes a few ingredients and some slow and low baking to make these pretzels a dream come true.  I usually make two batches of these pretzels and bring to work to share the joy of a holiday or to have a delicious snack to share at a party.  Either way it is sure to get you and others snackin' on a fun salty dish! 

Get ready to mix, bake, and crunch! 

BAKED RANCH SOURDOUGH PRETZELS

Ingredients:

• 1 16 oz. bag of UTZ sourdough pretzels
• 3/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil
• 1 packet of Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning mix
• 2 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp dill weed 

1.  Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. 

2.  In a large mixing bowl add oil, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder and dill weed.  Using a whisk mix everything together. 

2.  Open the bag of pretzels to let the air out, but keep the pretzels inside.  Using your hands or a utensil break the pretzels into bite-size pieces. 

3.  Pour the pretzel pieces into the large bowl and using a large spoon mix everything together coating the pretzels with all the seasonings. 

4.  Let them sit for about 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently. Next, pour the pretzels on a large baking tray.  Spread them out evenly and bake for 1 hour. 

5.  Once baked, let them cool and enjoy this salty, crunchy treat!
