Savory Ranch Pretzels with Kaukauna®Cheese make a simple, tasty appetizer.
Spring is around the corner and here in the Northeast, we are more than ready for it to come our way! In the past week, we have been hit with 2 big nor’easters. When we finally dig out from a couple of feet of snow, we plan to have some friends over for a little get-together.
Our family loves to have friends over and in turn go to friend’s homes too. We always serve quick, and easy appetizers or bring them along with us! It’s a great way to serve your guests a little something when they arrive and it also allows the hostess extra time to put the finishing touches on the main meal.
We look for simple recipes that come together in no time, are tasty to eat for everyone in the family, and feed a small crowd!
You can never go wrong with the all-time classic cheese and cracker platter! We are taking the classic cheese and cracker appetizer to a whole new level and jazzing it up with Kaukauna® Cheese Spread Cups and our Ranch Seasoned Pretzels.
These ranch seasoned pretzels are just a few ingredients to make and as they slow bake you can prepare the rest of the appetizers or main meal. They are full-flavored and are the perfect compliment to the creamy Kaukauna® Cheese Spread Cups.
Using 5 ingredients and a few easy steps these pretzels will go from bag to serving platter in under one hour. Place oil and pretzels in a large ziploc bag, zip shut and shake until pretzels are well coated and then add all the seasonings. Arrange pretzels evenly on a cookie sheet and bake at 200F for 55 minutes.

Arrange the pretzels on a platter and place a bowl of the Kaukauna® Cheese Spread Cup in a bowl with a cheese spreader. Spread some cheese on a pretzel and you have a mouthwatering appetizer that everyone will be sure to love!
Each of the Kaukauna® Cheese Spread Cups is so delicious and for this get-together I pick up Sharp Cheddar, Port Wine, & Extra Sharp Cheddar. The creamy cheese spread spreads perfectly on the ranch seasoned pretzels!
Kaukauna® is available at almost every grocery store and comes in Spread Cups, Cheeseballs, and Cheese logs. The cheeseballs and logs come covered in chopped nuts adding to the delicious cheese flavor. Sky’s the limit on the varieties that they offer from sharp cheddar, port wine, bacon cheddar and more. Adding Kaukauna® Cheese Spread Cups to my Ranch Seasoned Pretzels will be sure to impress my guests!
Kaukauna® is a delicious and easy entertaining solution made with 100% real cheddar and I always have some on hand just in case friends or family stopover. When I do my weekly shopping at Shoprite I pick some up where I find all my favorite flavors located right in the dairy aisle.
