Ingredients
2poundslarge hard pretzels,rods, twists, or nibblers
Break all the pretzels into bite-sized pieces. You can cut them with a knife, or leave them in the bag and pound them into pieces. Place the pieces in a large 6 quart crockpot.
Melt the butter, and whisk it into the cayenne pepper sauce. Pour the mixture over the pretzel pieces and toss to coat well. Then sprinkle both ranch packets over the pretzels and toss to coat.
Lay a long piece of paper towel over the top of the slow cooker and cover it with the lid. Turn on low and slow cook the pretzels for 3 hours, stirring every hour. The pretzel pieces will seem damp when you first turn off the slow cooker, but they will dry as they cool.
Once cooled, store in an air-tight container.
Notes
Oven Instructions: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Prepare the pretzel pieces in a large bowl. Once coated in seasoning, spread them out on 2-3 large rimmed baking sheets. Bake for 80-90 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes. Cool and enjoy!
