Ranch Pretzels

This spicy ranch pretzel recipe gets a kick from cayenne pepper. These savory snacks are a close relative of spiced crackers. The only real difference here is the choice of spices added in.

I prefer to keep the cayenne pepper out of my spiced crackers, but I think it pairs well with pretzels.

Like all things spicy and salty, these pair great with a cold beer. I like to serve these when we are having a few folks over to watch football games.

These also make a great hostess gift.

Because of the cayenne, this could prove to be a bit too spicy for kids. Feel free to leave it out.  You can add whatever extra spices you might like too.

As a matter of fact, here is a tip for this recipe; If you like “toastier” pretzels, just allow them a longer time in the oven.

Watch closely though, they can go from toasty to burnt in a matter of minutes. Ask me how I know………
