Pretzel Crack – the Addictive Snack!


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.
