We are big fans of these Garlic-Parmesan Pretzels. I found that recipe in Mom Knows Best by Gooseberry Patch. We loved the Garlic-Parmesan version of the pretzels so much, I knew I was going to have to try some different flavors!

Want to try the original? (Yeah, you do!) Grab the recipe over here.
“Mom Knows Best” is full of fast and easy recipes. We have loved everything I’ve cooked from it so far!
There are three ingredients in these Easy Ranch Pretzels – pretzels, butter, and ranch dressing mix. It takes 5 minutes. Even the hungriest kids can wait 5 minutes for an after-school snack! (…right?) It’s so easy to do, they can even help make it.
You only need two tips for this recipe. Make sure you are using a large enough microwave-safe bowl for your pretzels (otherwise you’ll make a mess trying to toss the pretzels in the butter mixture). Use a soft rubber spatula to mix the pretzels (otherwise the pretzels will break).
Enjoy!

I know I can get Samuel to wait 5 minutes….at least for these fab pretzels!!
I love that they are so quick to make!
These look so good and love how easy they are to make! I have never tried these. Sharing on my FB page today! Happy Weekend!
The ranch dressing mix turned into a globbed mess when mixed with the melted butter. Stuck in big clumps to about 3 pretzels. Couldn’t get it to spread around. Have the recipe the benefit of the doubt and thought maybe it would spread around after microwaving the pretzels. Nope. Turned into crusty globs stuck to 3 pretzels. Wish I would have just poured melted butter on the pretzels and sprinkled with the dressing mix.
I’m sorry you had trouble with this recipe. This happens to me when I make these sometimes, too. I’m not sure if it’s the temperature of the butter, how old the dressing mix is, or what’s the difference. To get around this, you can sprinkle the dressing mix on the pretzels, toss them a bit to mix, then pour the butter over and toss them some more. I describe that a little more in this recipe – https://www.myfearlesskitchen.com/garlic-ranch-pretzels/
