Hot Pretzels!

My Dad and My Hubby ordered "Hot Pretzels" for Father's Day. I'm a little behind in the gift making/giving department. So, this past Sunday, I gathered all of the necessary ingredients and made up a batch of hot pretzels. The following recipe is actually for one bag of pretzels. Personally, I like it much better with the 2 bags . . . if I end up making it with only one bag, I cut the oil in half . . .

1 cup oil (I use canola and sometimes skim it down to 3/4 cup)

1 package Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning mix

1 tsp garlic salt

1 tsp Cayenne Pepper

2 large bags mini pretzels

Using small bowl, mix the first four ingredients.

In a roasting pan, put a layer of pretzels and spoon some of the "dressing" on pretzels. Gently mix. Keep layering pretzels and dressing, mixing well after each layer. Continue to do this until all pretzels and dressing have been used.

Bake in a 200 degree oven for 2 hours. Stir pretzels every 20 minutes.

Warning: if you take these to work and offer them to your coworkers, don't eat them all before the co-workers get a few . . . very upsetting to the coworkers and - it will make you look like a greedy piggie!
