One of my favorite times of the day is after school when I can enjoy time with my kids. I love to be creative with snacks after school, and try to keep them as healthy as possible, while still making them a treat.
After school is a fun time to hear all about the day’s activities, what they learned, and any excitement at school. Going over the homework to be done and any upcoming functions or projects.
In our family, we always took about 30 minutes or an hour to watch one of the kids’ favorite kids TV shows. We started through the years watching Sesame Street, then Arthur, The Magic School Bus and then Bill Nye the Science Guy. All these lead to all the science shows on Smithsonian and Discovery channels. All of them are now in the sciences and I like to think this time sharing snacking and loving started their journey in education.
I always had a snack to give them a boost of energy after a long day at school and to tide them over for dinner. Popcorn, oatmeal cookies, fruit, granola bars, and always our version of ants on a log (graham crackers with peanut butter and mini chocolate chips – the ants)
Ranch Seasoned Pretzels is a recipe that my son discovered at one of his summer jobs. I would not say this recipe falls in the category of “healthy” but they are addictively good. Sometimes you just need a special treat!
How to Make Ranch Seasoned Pretzels
- Measure out the pretzels in a very large bowl, you want to have lots of room to toss.
- Mix together the other ingredients in a measuring cup and whisk together.
- Drizzle the liquid over the pretzels and toss to make sure all the pretzels are coated
- Transfer the pretzels and any liquid at the bottom of your bowl into a large ziplock bag.
- Now the fun begins, smush the bag and toss the pretzels around in the bag.
- Lay flat on your counter.
- Every hour or so smush around and turn over.
- This will make sure that all the oil mixture absorbed into the pretzels.
- I have tried to leave the pretzels in a bowl and just mix every so often, but that left the oil mixture at the bottom of the bowl and they did not taste so good.
Supplies Needed:
- Clear Glass Mixing Bowls
- Gallon Storage Bags
- Silicone Spatula
- Measuring Cups & Spoons
Variation of Seasoned Pretzels:
- Mix it up – add any spice you like to this recipe
- Useless or more ranch dressing mix.
- Try adding parmesan cheese
