Notes

This is a great recipe for experimenting with and adjusting it to your liking. Here are a few ingredient notes and suggestions.
  • Ranch Dressing – We like buying a large bottle of ranch dressing mix. Sometimes you want a bolder ranch flavor. This makes it easy to adjust the amount of ranch used on the pretzels.
  • Pretzels – Gluten free pretzels seem to come in smaller portioned bags, unlike the conventional ones. Snyder’s of Hanover is a good gluten free brand and it is reasonably priced.
  • Butter vs Oil – I use butter in my recipe because I like the buttery taste the pretzels get from it. You could use a neutral oil such as canola or vegetable. Substitute the 4 Tablespoons of Butter for 4 Tablespoons of oil.
  • The Spices – Maybe you want more dill or less garlic on your pretzels? No problem, adjust the spice amounts at will.
