Hot Mama, Hot Mama, Southwest Pretzels





This recipe is great to have for that something extra for your friends to munch on while they're over for a few drinks or great to have for a snack anytime of the day.  These pretzels do have a little heat to them so be careful on how much Southwest Chipotle Seasoning that you add.  Here we go with the list of ingredients:

-1 Pound Bag of Mini Pretzels
-1 Bottle of Orville Redenbackers Butter Topping
-1 Bottle of Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle Seasoning
-1 Packet of Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning/Dip Mix

In a deep bowl, or a roasting pan works even better, empty your bag of pretzels (all), and lightly coat with Butter Topping.  There really isn't an exact measurement to this, (I hate it when people say that), so you want to add enough to coat all of the pretzels to get the seasoning to stick, but you don't want your pretzels swimming in butter either.  Although, that sounds like a lot of fun, yet another thing to add to the Bucket List.  

You can always add more topping if it looks like your seasoning isn't sticking well enough.  Empty your packet of Ranch into the bowl, along with approximately 2-3 tablespoons of Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle Seasoning.  Now as I said before, this has A LOT of heat to it so use extreme caution, lol, as to not add too much or you will be hating me for this recipe rather than loving me. 

Lightly coat the top with your Mrs. Dash.  Now take two large spoons and toss your pretzels in your new found glory mix, until well coated.  Sprinkle top with Dash again and toss again.  Make sure to taste test along the way to keep the heat level to where you like it.  Keep tossing the pretzels every 30-45 minutes until dry.  You can store these in a gallon ziplock, rubbermaid container.  (Warning:  you will want to keep a few extra ales around to assist your guests in putting out the fire.)
