Garlic Pretzels Recipe

Are you going to a holiday party over the next two weeks?  A family or friend’s house to wish them good cheer?  Why not whip up a batch of crunchy goodness to take to them as a hostess gift.

Food gifts are always welcome and enjoyed, plus ones that are wrapped with holiday flair spread the gift of giving which is what the holidays are all about.  I like giving these pretzels because they are easy to make and can be made ahead of time.  They also are easy to transport.

I found the vintage Christmas card image online and fell it love with it. I had to find a way to use it since it makes me smile.  I love the vintage feel and the fashionable happy woman bearing lots of beautifully wrapped gifts and a wreath to bring holiday cheer to her destination.

I made it into gift tags and have a free printable for you to download. It is after the recipe for the garlic pretzels.

Ingredients

  • Enjoy!

On my trips to HomeGoods, I am always on the lookout for containers in which to place food gifts in. I found the red topped jar and the white ceramic berry basket last week.  With the addition of a piece of ribbon and the vintage Christmas card tag,  I have created a hostess gift that can be enjoyed by the whole family.

Hostess gift idea. Garlic-Pretzel-recipe-that-makes-a-perfect-hostess-gift

I used clear acetate wrap that I bought at the party store to wrap the pretzels in before placing them in the berry basket.

It is very easy to make the Garlic Pretzels – only 20 minutes start to finish.  You need a bag of hard pretzels, a dry package of Ranch salad dressing, and herbs. Cleanup is easy, too  – one bowl, a spatula, and a baking sheet.  Your kitchen will smell delish when they are baking in the oven.  Recipe is at end of post.

  • It took 2 batches to fill the glass jar and basket.

Use a paper cutter or scissors to cut the tags out. I cut mine out so that there was a white border around each gift tag.

When making the pretzels be sure to make enough for you and your family to munch on, too.  :-)

    To make clean up easier I suggest putting all ingredients in a plastic bag and shaking instead of pouring everything all over the pan (which will cook on and have to be scoured off).
