A parchment-lined baking sheet should be preheated to 350°F (175°C).
A flavorful seasoning blend can be made by mixing the cayenne pepper (if using), melted butter, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, fine sea salt, and smoked paprika, and mixing well.
In a bowl, combine the mini pretzels, and the seasoning mix, and toss gently until the flavors have been evenly distributed.
Prepare the baking sheet by placing the seasoned pretzels on it single-layered.
Make sure the pretzels are evenly covered with cheddar cheese shredded.
For the snackers to be hot and bubbly, bake them for 10-12 minutes in the preheated oven.
Cool the snackers for a few minutes after they have been removed from the oven. It will make handling the cheese easier if they are allowed to set a bit.
