Spicy Nut and Pretzel Mix
Spicy Nut and Pretzel Mix may be the perfect snack to pair with beer. The flavor is really subtle but that spice creeps up on you – cue the iced cold beer now. Start with a mixture of nuts. Any nuts will do and bake in the oven for 15 minutes. After the 15 minutes, add a bag of pretzels on top with melted butter and seasonings. Mix together and bake another 15 minutes. Cool and eat!
You have control over the amount of spice and seasoning is in this Spicy Nut and Pretzel Mix. Like it extra spicy? Add more cayenne. Want more seasoning? Get crazy with it and double the butter and add another Ranch seasoning packet!

Ooh…yummy. This looks like a great appetizer. I’ll have to try it out.
Ah this sounds sooo yummy! I love salty and spicy so much, especially with a cold beer!
Mmmm, this sounds delicious! This would be the perfect thing to have out at family gatherings over the holidays. I’d have to make two batches though, a spicy one for my husband and a milder one for me 🙂
You can def make it more mild and maybe double the ranch! That would be really delicious.
Mmmm… I love ranch so I bet this snack would be so good. I will have to try this recipe over the holiday.
This would be a great snack for the holidays, especially if you have some guests coming over.
