DEB’S CONTEST AND BLOG

spring-flowers-and-butterfliesSpring is in the air! Thank goodness! I’m ready for some warm days, bloomin’ flowers, and a good book. I’m giving away a $10 Amazon or B&N gift card, as well as your choice of one of my titles, Stone Cold Justice (an Amazon Best Seller romantic suspense) or An Unholy Alliance (contemporary suspense with paranormal elements). Just leave a comment with your email to enter. If you stop by all participating blog sites, you’ll also have an opportunity to enter the GRAND PRIZE contest!

Everyone knows you have to have a good munchie to go with a good book so here’s a recipe that’s sure to please. Be careful. I’ve had people tell me it’s addictive!

BUTTER RANCH PRETZELS

Ingredients:

3 pounds of small twist pretzels

1 TBSP Garlic powder (you can add more if you like garlic)

1 TBSP Dill weed

1 pkg Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix (powder)

1 bottle Orville Redenbacher’s Buttery Popcorn Oil/Topping

Directions:

Combine garlic powder, dill weed, ranch dressing mix and popcorn oil in bowl and mix until blended.

Place pretzels in plastic bag or container (an unscented tall kitchen trash bag works great). Pour mixture over pretzels and stir gently, coating pretzels thoroughly. Let it for three hours, continuing to mix contents every half hour.

Store in gallon ziplock bags or sealed containers. Great for parties or snacking.

That’s it! Now leave a comment as your entry and GOOD LUCK!

    Love the snack recipe. I make something similar but using Oyster crackers instead of pretzels and vegetable oil instead of the popcorn oil and it’s baked in the oven for about 20 minutes.

    I love pretzels! Right now I’m too busy with spring cleaning, when I’m not hopping:) But I might try it later.
