How Do You Serve Seasoned Pretzels?
Use them as a snack base for a mix. Add nuts, chocolate-coated candies, popcorn, and cheese crackers.
Serve them at game day parties. Make a double batch and place bowls around your party for guests to snack on. Or serve them in a large bowl with smaller bowls for people to take some with them.
Gift cellophane bags of ranch pretzels to friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Tie them with a pretty ribbon.
For drinks, serve soda, beer, or a beer cocktail like a Michelada, or a classic cocktail like Jack and Coke.

Can I double the recipe?
