Buffalo wing pretzels and blue cheese dip recipe

Semi-homemade pretzels coated with hot and spicy Buffalo wing seasonings are served with blue cheese dip.

Serves 3

Prep time: 15 minutes | Cook time: 13 minutes | Total time: 28 minutes

Ingredients:

For the pretzels

• 3 cups sourdough nibblers pretzels
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 4 dashes sweet smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 4 dashes salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin

For the dip

• 1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons blue cheese, crumbled
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (or salt to taste)
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 3 teaspoons Greek yogurt
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Directions:

For the pretzels

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. To a medium-size bowl, add all the ingredients except for the pretzels, and whisk together.
3. Add the pretzels, and carefully stir them to coat each pretzel.
4. Set the pretzels on a cookie sheet, and bake until the coating sticks to the pretzels (about 10 to 15 minutes).
5. Serve with blue cheese dip.

For the dip

1. In a medium-size bowl, whisk together all the ingredients, and place in the fridge while making the pretzels.

For something different, try putting peanut butter-filled pretzels on a skewer. There will be a few casualties, where the pretzel may crack, so you’ll just have to eat those.

There is oftentimes a little hole in the bottom of the pretzel, which makes it easier to put it on a skewer.

Try drizzling some raspberry preserve and sour cream dip on top of these pretzel skewers, and it might make you think of PB&Js for a moment.

Peanut butter pretzel skewers and raspberry preserves dip recipe

Peanut butter-filled pretzels on a skewer are served with a raspberry preserve and sour cream dip.

Serves 2

Total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 cups peanut butter-filled pretzel nibblers (plus some extra, if needed)
• 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons nonfat Greek yogurt
• 3 tablespoons red raspberry preserves

Directions:

1. To a medium-size bowl, add the sour cream, yogurt and raspberry preserves. Whisk together, and set aside in the fridge.
2. Starting at one end of the pretzel, carefully slide each pretzel onto a wooden skewer. If there is already a hole in the end of the pretzel, use that for the skewer. Some of the pretzels may break, but the majority of them should be fine.
3. Serve the pretzel skewers with the raspberry preserve dip.

These flavored pretzels are amazingly easy to make too.

This is also a snack that is really, really hard to stop eating once you’ve started.
