Crack Pretzels - The Most Addicting Snack
"Crack" Pretzels are aptly named for their addictive quality. You can't have just one! They have a ton of ranch flavor, but also have a little spice, a little garlic, and a subtly warm cinnamon undertone.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 pounds mini pretzel twists
- 16 ounces light tasting oil I use Light Tasting Olive Oil but you can use another mild oil like Popcorn Oil, Canola Oil, or Vegetable Oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 - 2 teaspoons dried dill weed I go all in and add 2 teaspoons - if your family doesn't love ranch/pickle-y flavors, you can use less.
- 1 - 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper We like the full two teaspoons - if you don't like heat, use one or less.
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 package dry ranch seasoning
Instructions
- Combine pretzels, oil, and seasoning in a large bowl and toss gently to combine.2 pounds mini pretzel twists, 16 ounces light tasting oil, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 - 2 teaspoons dried dill weed, 1 - 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 package dry ranch seasoning
- Put it all in a large Ziploc bag (or two gallon-sized bags,) then shake to fully coat the pretzels.
- Let the pretzels sit in the bags for 24 - 28 hours, shaking them a few times throughout the day to make sure they get evenly coated.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
The whole process of making these pretzels takes two days, but it really only takes 4-5 minutes of hands-on time to make the pretzels.
This recipe yields about 40 servings of pretzels, with 15 pretzels in each serving.
How to Store Crack Pretzels
Crack pretzels last a surprisingly long time - the oil kind of acts like a preservative to keep the pretzels from getting stale. (Though they will likely get eaten up pretty quickly!) Store them in an airtight container, or just keep them in the bags that you made them in for 1 - 2 weeks.
