My daughter got this recipe from her friends mom . The small pretzels work the best. And for some reason , the oil definitely makes a difference! We've made them with Crisco, and we've made them with other brands, and they don't taste the same! *** seems to be too hot for a few people , PLEASE ADJUST the cayenne pepper if you don't like HOT***

Provided by Craigs Recipes

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 2h5m

Yield 30 bowls, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (15 ounce) bags old dutch thins fat free pretzels
1/2 cup vegetable oil or 1/2 cup canola oil
4 teaspoons garlic powder
4 teaspoons lemon pepper
2 (1 ounce) packages hidden valley ranch dressing mix
4 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat Oven at 250º.
  • Get your basic turkey roaster pan and spray the inside with no-stick cooking spray.
  • Grab handfuls of pretzels and place them evenly in the roaster, try to avoid dumping in all the excess salt and broken pieces on the bottom of the bag.
  • Hand mix together all other ingredients in a seperate bowl until all ingredients are mixed up really well.
  • Pour this mixture evenly over the pretzels in the pan.
  • Place the lid on and grasp the handles and lid tight and shake the pretzels so that they all are evenly coated.
  • Place in the oven for 2 hours, stirring and shaking every 30 minutes.
  • Make sure you stir up the pretzels on the bottom of the pan otherwise they will get burnt. When they are done cooking, I usually set the roaster out and let them cool for 15-20 minutes. After that I place them in a large bowl for serving.
