Looking for a great family snack that’s easy to make and soooo addictively wicked for the Victoria or Memorial Day weekends? Then look no more. Seriously. You’ll be hooked with your first nibble. Trust me, you’ll need to lock these ranch-dressed, salty bites under lock and key if you want to make them last until the next holiday weekend or movie night. It’s the perfect snack to serve at the cottage or camping or on your patio while hanging with family or friends.
And guess what? No baking is required.
Even your kids can help with this recipe.
What
You Need:
32 ounce bag of pretzels
16 ounce bottle of Orville Redenbacher’s
Buttery Flavor popcorn oil
1 package of Hidden Valley Ranch dressing
mix (dry)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
2 tablespoon dill weed
1 deep foil tray (from dollar store)
What
You Do:
1.
Mix
all dry ingredients in a medium size bowl.
2.
Mix
in the popcorn oil.
3.
Coat
pretzels evenly, then spoon out onto a deep foil tray.
4.
Air
dry pretzels in foil tray, stirring every 15 minutes until dry (approximately
1-2 hours).
Store your freshly made pretzel crack in
freezer bags. Voila. Done. Ready for consumption.
Warning: If you find that
you or a family member eats a whole bag in one sitting, it’s time for an
intervention. Do what you must, but make sure the appropriate treatment is
enforced. Then, go ahead and make some more.
While waiting for the pretzel crack to
dry, might I suggest a visit to Fairy Falls,
or if you’re feeling really adventurous, a trip back in time with The
Last Timekeepers? Whichever you choose, either series allows you to escape into
another time and place, leaving the craziness of the real world far behind.
Here’s a glimpse
of the premises of both my young adult series:
Mysterious Tales from Fairy Falls Teen Psychic
Mysteries…
Imagine a teenager possessing a psychic
ability and struggling to cope with this freakish power. There’s no hope for a
normal life, and no one who understands. Now, imagine being uprooted and forced
to live in a small tourist town where nothing much ever happens. It’s bores-ville
from the get-go.
Welcome
to Fairy Falls. Expect the unexpected.
The Last Timekeepers Time Travel Adventures…
Chosen by an
Atlantean Magus to be Timekeepers—legendary time travelers sworn to keep
history safe from the evil Belial—five classmates are sent into the past to
restore balance, and bring order back into the world, one mission at a time.
Children are the keys to our future. And now, children
are the only hope for our past.
