Ingredients for Ranch Seasoned Pretzels
These ranch pretzels ingredients are probably sitting in your pantry right now. If not, they’re not hard to find. Be sure to buy the powdered ranch dressing mix and not the salad dressing.
- Pretzels: I used mini pretzels
- Butter: Melted
- Ranch Dressing: Buy the packets or make your own, it’s easy!
How to Make Ranch Covered Pretzels
These pretzels come together in no time, which is a good thing because they will go fast. Make a double batch just to be sure you have enough on hand!
- Prep: Preheat the oven to 275 degrees.
- Mix: In a large bowl add the pretzels, butter, and ranch seasoning and stir until evenly coated.
- Bake: Lay on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Cool: Remove from oven and let cool completely. Serve.
What Kind of Pretzels Should I use?
Any kind you have on hand will work. I like the texture and flavor of the mini pretzels. But I have seen pretzel sticks, thick cut pretzels, waffle cut and spindle shaped, all used with success. It’s really up to you and what you prefer. Make several batches using all different kinds and find your favorite. I don’t think you’ll regret trying them all.
Tips and Variations of Easy Ranch Pretzels
Did I mention that these are addicting? You truly should make a double batch of these ranch pretzels.
- Mix together: To season the pretzels a bit more evenly try mixing the ranch seasoning in the butter before pouring it over the pretzels. It will help the pretzels get more evenly coated.
- Add More: Add more zing to your ranch pretzels by adding 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of dill. Yummy!
- Butter Substitute: You can trade out the butter for oil, canola, olive or coconut all best. However I do have to say the butter gives incredible flavor.
- Adjust it to your Liking: One of the best things about this recipe is that your can adjust the seasoning to your tastes. If you like more or less seasoning simply add more or less. It’s one of the best things about making your own ranch pretzels vs store bought. You can totally adjust it your tastes.
- Make your own Ranch: Ranch seasoning is so easy to make, check out my post on all the tips and tricks and recipe.

Do I pour melted butter over the pretzels and then sprinkle the pack of Ranch Powder over everything and toss? Or do I mix the pack of Ranch powder IN the melted butter and pour that over the pretzels and toss??
Thank you for considering my question.
Sincerely,
Sally
Hi Sally, thank you for your question. I poured the butter over the pretzels first, stirred and then poured the ranch powder over the buttered pretzels and stirred. I am sure you can mix the butter and ranch together first, I just felt like the butter helped the ranch stick to the pretzels. Let me know how they turn out!
love this recipe. easy to make.
Can this recipe be made with snyders sour dough pretzels broken up into small pieces?
Thank you!
That sounds delicious!
