Garlic Onion Seasoned Pretzels

Garlic Onion Seasoned Pretzels are a quick and easy snack to make for any holiday get together or gifts!!  Making gift baskets for our neighbors, teachers and friends at Christmas is one of my favorite things to do. I make small items throughout the month and store them until I am ready to create my baskets.

I collect baskets all year long at thrift stores and yard sales in anticipation of  the Christmas gift giving season. Gifts with a personal touch are always heart warming to give and receive.

When I find a great recipe that I know others will love I just have to share it. These garlic onion seasoned pretzels are perfect! Things like No Bake Ranch Oyster Crackers, 2 Ingredient Peanut Butter Fudge, and even Chocolate Covered Oranges are a great addition to any gift basket or holiday grazing table alongside these seasoned pretzels.

How to Make This No Bake Seasoned Pretzels Recipe

First thing you’ll do is break the hard pretzels into smaller pieces. I like to do this while they are still in the bag. You don’t want them real small. A one or two bite size piece is a great size. After you have the correct size place the pretzels in your microwave safe bowl.

Place the butter on top of the pretzels. Cover and microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes. The exact timing will depend on the power of your microwave. You want the butter completely melted over the pretzels.

Once the butter melts add the dry soup mix and stir well. Place covered bowl back in the microwave for another minute and stir. You want to do this one more time to ensure the pretzels are well coated.
