Buffalo Ranch Pretzels
These buffalo ranch pretzels are so addicting you just can’t get enough. These are perfect for your next get together or an afternoon snack.
If you’re a snacker raise your hand. I love snack type food more than anything. I’m a salty snack person too. Chips or crackers are my favorite.
That’s why these buffalo ranch pretzels are one of my favorite snacks. Not only salty but also have my two favorite flavors ever combined. Buffalo and ranch dressing.
Ingredients you will need:
- Pretzels– I used pretzel nuggets in this recipe, but I have also used pretzel sticks and regular pretzels for this recipe.
- Buffalo Sauce– My personal favorite is one they sale at Dollar Tree, but use which ever one you prefer
- Canola Oil– This helps the flavors soak into the pretzels
- Ranch Dressing Seasoning– I buy this stuff in bulk from Sam’s Club, but you can also buy it in small packets
- Red Pepper Flakes– These give an extra little kick to the recipe, but you can skip this if your prefer.
How to make these Buffalo Ranch Pretzels
Start by adding the buffalo sauce to a bowl ( Photo 1) then add the canola oil to the bowl ( Photo 2) Add the ranch dressing seasoning ( Photo 3)
Last add the red pepper flakes to the bowl with the rest of the ingredients ( Photo 4) then whisk together all the contents of the bowl ( Photo 5) until it is blended together well ( Photo 6) and set aside
Add the pretzels to a Ziploc bag ( Photo 7) and then pour the buffalo sauce mixture on top of the pretzels in the bag ( Photo 8) Seal the plastic bag and shake around the bag until all the pretzels are evenly coated with sauce ( Photo 9)
Take a baking sheet and pour the sauced pretzels on to the pan ( Photo 10) Spread the pretzels out evenly on the baking sheet ( Photo 11) and out in the oven at 250 degrees for an hour turning the pretzels every 20 minutes.
Tips for this recipe
- I used pretzel nuggets for this recipe because they soak in the flavor more, but any pretzels work for this recipe.
- You really want to mix the buffalo sauce mixture with a whisk or a fork and not a spoon because the ranch dressing seasoning tends to clump up
- I suggest mixing the pretzels and buffalo mixture in a plastic bag. It makes it so much easier and an easier clean up
- Be sure and flip the pretzels about every 20 minutes while cooking. It is easiest to take them out of the oven, flip them, and put them back
- Let the pretzels completely cool before eating they will taste stale if you eat them when hot

When do you add the hidden valley ranch dressing?
So sorry. I see I didn’t say to add the ranch dressing seasoning when you mix the oil, buffalo sauce, and red pepper flakes. Thanks for catching that. I’ll go change it
