Seasoned Pretzels Recipe (Crack Pretzels)

This summer a friend of my son introduced our family to Dot’s Pretzels.  They are seasoned Pretzels that come in different flavors and are so addictive or crack pretzels. 

After spending too much money on a snack that lasted an hour in our house I decided to make my own version of these seasoned pretzels with Dill that in my opinion are even better than the original Dot’s Flavored Pretzels.

WHAT KIND OF PRETZELS CAN I SEASON?

I have yet to be able to find butter twist pretzels so I have made a few batches using

Seasons Pretzels with Ranch what type of Ranch Seasonings 

At the grocery you will find both Ranch Dip mix and Ranch Dressing Mix.  Buy whatever is in stock. Both ranch dip mix and dressing mix serve similar purposes and can be used interchangeably.

Seasoned Pretzels without Butter

Well I use imitation popcorn oil.  I am sure you can substitute melted butter but there is something about this oil that makes snack mixes amazing.  Check out my Slam Dunk Snack Mix Recipe for another recipe using popcorn oil.
