Boy are these good! Only changes I made to the recipe were to reduce the oil to 2/3 cup, use garlic powder instead of garlic salt and add 1 T. Worchestershire sauce. Just enough heat to get your attention! Next time I may try decreasing the oil a little more and may try adding cereal squares and nuts to the pretzels. Thanks for the great recipe!

These pretzels were very easy to make (I'm glad I read the other reviews and baked these at 250 degrees for one hour). However, I like spicy foods but I didn't think this recipe had enough "kick", so I added another teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper and some Mortons Spicy Salt. Then they tasted great! Also, to save some calories, I cut the oil to 2/3 cup and added a little bit of water, then tossed in fat-free pretzels. I think the next time I make them, I may even cut the oil more.

Bake 250 degrees for 1 hour. Turn every 15 minutes. Very good.

These were "good" - not bad (and certainly they were easy to make) but my tongue didn't do the cha-cha either. Thanks to others, I baked mine at 250 for an hour, stirring every 15 min and since my daughter would probally snack on these, I reduced the cayenne by half. I was worried the ranch would make these too salty but they were fine. I would make these again when I need a change from plain 'ol pretzels, but I don't think I'll crave them often. Thanks for the new idea K. Tansey!

The ingredients create a very flavorful combination, however, the recommended temperature is too high for 1 hour. I "rescued" mine after 40 min. at 350 degrees and they were scorched. Lower temperature to 250 - 300 degrees for best results.

The recipe is great. I bake them at 200° for an hour instead of 350° and they don't get too brown or burn.

These are great. I love them. The ranch dressing gives a great flavor. Since I was making for children I left out the cayenne.

I made a few changes to this recipe and it turned out awesome!! I put everything in a ziplock baggie and let sit for an hour rotating every 15mins or so. Then I baked the pretzels on a jelly roll pan for 5 mins at 350. Sooooo Goooood!

THe flavor of this was very good. I did use broken pretzel pieces instead of mini pretzels because I like them more. I also cut down on the cayenne pepper because my boyfriend is not a fan of spicy food. I left them in the oven for about 15 mnutes and they were done. I will also reduce oven temp next time. They were excellent in taste though, and I will make again with those minor adjustments.

I thought this recipe sounded so good and I had all of the ingredients in the cupboard to make it, but the pretzels burned and I threw out the whole batch. I don't know what I did wrong!

This recipe was easy and tasty. I took half of them to work and everyone asked for the recipe. Good job, keep posting! I did cut down on the cayenne pepper a little but next time I won't and see if people like it as much.

I may have done something wrong, but my pretzels burned in the oven after about 40 minutes. Every time I opened the door to stir the pretzels, my eyes watered! I ended up tossing the whole project out. It might have been an oven problem so make sure your oven is correct before setting out to make these. They sounded good; if they hadn't burned, they probably would have been...
