Slow Cooker Onion Garlic Pretzels

I wasn’t expecting much from these slow cooker onion garlic pretzels but I’m not sure why not. The recipe did catch my eye, mostly because it contains onion soup/dip mix. I love that stuff. I mix with it sour cream and grab some Fritos and I’m set. So I made this and boom! I’m in love! First of course, there’s the great onion soup flavoring. You know the one, sorta beef bouillon-like. And a hint of garlic. A little butter. And the great crunch of salty pretzels. It’s like everything great in a snack in a single bite. And oh so easy to make! Warning: These bites are highly addictive!

Slow Cooker Onion Garlic Pretzels

Any Plain Pretzel Will Do!

I think you could make these slow cooker onion garlic pretzels with other than pretzel rods. Yeah, it does take a few minutes to break all of those rods into pieces and it’s a bit messy (little pretzel pieces flying everywhere!), but it’s worth it. But if you’re in a hurry, grab some pretzel nuggets or bites and they’ll work just fine. I just wouldn’t get anything that has anything but salt on it. And don’t get any that have flavorings, like cheddar or bacon or something. Get them plain and you’ll be fine!
