Simple Seasoned Party Pretzels are simple to make, and very addictive, which is why we call them "Crack Pretzels"!

I made this recipe right after Christmas, since we were in the mood for that perfect salty snack after eating all the cookies, fudge, and pie. I've made it four times since, and every time I think to myself, why didn't I buy more than one bag of pretzels?! Because, they are so addicting, which means they are gone in no time! And then you find yourself licking your finger and sticking it in the crumbs in the bottom of the container, because that's all that is left, and you weren't ready for them to be gone just yet. Wait, I'm the only one doing that? Oops.

These sort of remind me of the ranch oyster crackers, only way better. And, we aren't using any ranch packets here. These are full of spices that you more than likely already have in your kitchen, and that means all you really need to do is go and buy some pretzels! I highly encourage you to buy some pretzels soon, and make these. Next movie night? Forget the popcorn, make these instead! Family/friends coming over? Make these. You gotta bring something to the office party? Bring these. Everyone will thank you and rave over how freaking awesome these simple seasoned party pretzels are, and you'll realize why we call them crack pretzels!
