Snack Mix Recipes: Spicy Pretzels

On the hunt for an easy snack or treat that people can munch on at your party? These spicy pretzels are a HUGE favorite at our house. I love the fact that they’re more than simple to make and that this make ahead snack mixture can be frozen.

You heard that right! I’ve been known to make a big ‘ol batch of this pretzel snack mix and stick them in a freezer grade gallon baggie in the freezer. When people stop by, I’ve got a homemade snack mix that can be served up right away – those kinds of finger food snacks are my absolute favorite!

Plus, if you’re a fan of Dot’s Homestyle Pretzels, then you know how good those are …. well, guess what?? These taste exactly like those!

I LOVE putting these out for card nights!

For this snack mix recipe you’ll need:

• 16 oz. pkg Snyder Pretzels (my store has 9 oz bags and I use two of those, it’s fine to use more pretzels to your liking)
• 1/2 t garlic powder
• 1/2 t onion powder
• 1/2 pkg. Hidden Valley mix
• 1 T. Dill Weed
• Popcorn oil 5 oz.
• 1/2 t. red (cayenne) pepper

** Feel free to take down any of the spices and add to your liking! They’re not overly spicy, but can be if you’re sensitive to seasonings. The dill can also be added to your preference.

Mix spices with oil, put pretzels in 1 Gallon Bag. Put the pretzels in the bag and pour the mixture on them. Next, seal up the bag and squish them around until it all looks like it is covered with the mixture. Let sit for atleast an hour and enjoy!!

Finger foods and easy snack mixes like these are great to bring to a family in need, too. I like to whip up a batch of these to give with plates, napkins, etc. to a friend who’s going through a rough time, or when someone has passed away. They’ll always have guests popping in and out and won’t have time to cook or bake, so they can take these spicy ranch pretzels out of the freezer and throw them in a bowl and it’s an instant hit.
