Cayenne Pretzels

1 cup vegetable oil

1 envelope ranch salad dressing mix

1 teaspoon garlic salt

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 packages (10 ounces each) pretzel sticks

In a small bowl, combine the oil, dressing mix, garlic salt and cayenne.  Divide pretzels between two ungreased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pans.  Pour oil mixture over pretzels; stir to coat.

Bake at 200˚ for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours or until golden brown, stirring occasionally.  Cool completely.  Store in an airtight container.

Notes -  First time I made was 1-8-07.  I use garlic powder, figure the pretzels have enough salt already.  And the bags of pretzels I buy are larger also, I think maybe 16 ounces.  The longer they sit, the spicier they get.  Careful, very addictive!
