"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***"

I made this tonight for the Magic/Lakers playoff game and I keep re-reading over the ingredients to figure out what I did wrong...I found these to be WAY too salty! I even subbed garlic powder for the garlic salt. Maybe I am supposed to be using non-salted pretzels? I find it odd that only 1/4 pound pretzels be used when a similar, no-bake pretzel recipe indicates a whole pound be used with one package of the ranch dressing mix. I am upset I wasted the last of my pretzels on this salty mess :[ :::UPDATE:::So I made these again because I thought they had potential. They taste SO much better when you use at least 1/2 pound of pretzels, LESS THAN 1/4 cup oil, and ONE HALF package of ranch dressing mix. I would also recommend using UNSALTED PRETZELS since the ranch mix is so darn salty! We enjoyed these when I made them with altered amounts.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these pretzels!<br/>I used 1lb of pretzels, 1 cup veggy oil, 1tsp Cayenne pepper, 1tsp Garlic powder and 1 packet of Dry ranch.<br/>I would probably add more dry ranch when I make these again.<br/>These were just perfect in spiciness! They are ridiculously addicting, can't stop eating them once you start!

I make these all the time...my husband loves them. I use 2 10 oz bags of pretzels.... put pretzels in colander and shake off excess salt. Combine in a large bowl 1 package of hidden valley ranch dressing, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper or less, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning. Mix in 3/4 cup canola dresing. Stir in pretzels coating them well. Spread out on cookie sheet to dry.

I made these for our Super Bowl party & they turned out great! I had to send some home with 2 of our guy friends because they loved them so much! Changes I made: I used garlic powder instead of garlic salt, since I figured the pretzels would be salty enough on their own. I also used about 2 tsp of chili powder instead of cayenne pepper (didn't have any.)

My new favorite flavored pretzels! I don't like flavored pretzels that are too oily or have too much seasoning, so I cut back on the oil and used 1/2 lb. of pretzels with the same amount of seasoning. They turned out great!

I use 1 to 1.5 lbs of pretzels. 1/2 cup butter and 1/4 cup olive oil. 2 tsp cayenne and garlic powder with the ranch dressing mix. (My friend who gave me this recipe uses 1 cup butter flavored popcorn oil and 1/4 c vegetable oil. )

These pretzels were great. Just enough flavor, not too overwhelming. I probably used closer to a pound of pretzels, doubled the oil but kept the ranch mix to one package. I also used Cajun seasoning in place of the garlic and cayenne. It already has those flavors in it anyway. These were a nice salty treat in lieu of all the sweet treats offered during the holidays

These are my new addiction! I used 1 lb of mini pretzels and 1/2 cup vegetable oil. I kept the ranch dressing mix and cayenne pepper the same but used granulated garlic instead of garlic salt. We munched on these while watching the Seahawks game (GO HAWKS!) and everyone loved them! Thanks for sharing this great snack recipe, Marlene! **Made for Fall PAC 2008**
