Ingredients List & Step-By-Step Instructions For Orville Redenbacher Pretzel Recipe

Getting the right ingredients and the method down makes all the difference between a bland snack and a crunchy, flavor-packed treat. This recipe balances buttery Orville Redenbacher popcorn oil with zesty seasonings to coat every pretzel bite perfectly.

Step 1

Start by gathering these ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Orville Redenbacher Butter Popcorn Oil 12 oz (1 bottle)
Small Pretzels 30 oz (2 bags)
Dry Ranch Dressing Mix 1 oz (1 package)
Garlic Powder 2 teaspoons
Dill Weed 1 1/2 teaspoons

Mixing the spices and oil first is the secret to even coverage. The popcorn oil brings a buttery richness that clings beautifully to the pretzels, while garlic powder brings that punch of savory comfort.

Step 2

Pour the 12 oz of Orville Redenbacher popcorn oil into a large mixing bowl.

Add the dry ranch dressing mix, 2 teaspoons of garlic powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of dill weed. Stir well to blend all the seasonings evenly with the oil. This step locks in the flavor before the pretzels meet their bath.

Once mixed, drizzle about a quarter of this seasoning-oil mixture over the 30 oz of pretzels. Toss or stir gently so every pretzel gets hit with flavor but doesn’t become soggy.

Step 3

Keep adding the seasoning mixture bit by bit, stirring between additions.

Make sure each batch of pretzels is fully coated before adding more oil and seasoning. Using a large roasting pan or a container with a lid makes stirring and shaking easier, preventing messes.

Once all is mixed, cover the pretzels and let them sit for at least 24 hours. This resting time lets the oil soak in and the flavors marry, turning crunchy pretzels into addictive snacks. Shake the container occasionally to redistribute the seasoning.

Ready to share—or keep for yourself—these pretzels deliver buttery, garlicky goodness with every bite.😋
