Garlic Pretzels

Recipe #69398 | 1¾ hours | 5 min prep | add private note

By: Chef Boy of Dee's
Aug 21, 2003

My spousal unit and I are garlic freaks and also love the garlic butter served with seafood. Since we do not eat lobster or shrimp, we wanted something with that garlic butter taste and decided to "kick it up a notch" with Emeril's Essence.

20 oz. (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 (20 ounce) package pretzels (stick work best)
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced (or more if you dare, either through a garlic press or in a food processor)
  • 1 teaspoon Emeril's Original Essence (either commercial or use the recipe here)

Directions

  1. 1
    In a saucepan, melt the butter, garlic and essence.
  2. 2
    Stir and mix until boiling.
  3. 3
    Place the pretzels in a large bowl.
  4. 4
    Drizzle the butter mixture over the pretzels and coat as best you can.
  5. 5
    Spread the coated pretzels into an ungreased baking pan (can be split into two pans for easier tossing).
  6. 6
    Bake at 250 degrees for 45 minutes (or until the pretzels are no longer wet), stirring every 15 minutes (to recoat the pretzels.) Cool and store in Ziploc or resealable container.
  7. 7
    GREAT with ice cold PEPSI (or beer if you must!).

This was quite easy to make but we felt it had mostly a butter flavor. After sitting overnight the garlic taste did come out a little. The Essence was not noticeable at all. Pretzels were a 15 oz bag, as that was what was available in the grocery. Therefore, I used 3/4 C butter. I used 5 cloves of garlic and 1 tsp of Essence.

    My package of pretzel sticks were only 15oz. I used the same amounts of the other ingredients(except garlic, I used about 10 cloves, smashed in the mortor) very nervous that they pretzels would end up soggy. Nope, perfect, they are working wonderfully on the snack tray I am preparing for each of my fellow employees for the holidays. Very economical too.

    I got rave reviews on these! I used garlic powder instead of minced garlic (not sure of the quantity - just dumped lots in until I felt there was enough!). My husband loved them and my Mom couldn't leave them alone! YUM!
