Pineapple Pretzel Fluff




Ingredients
  • 1 cup crushed pretzels
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 (12-ounce) container Cool Whip, thawed

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together pretzel pieces, butter, and 1/2 cup sugar. Transfer mixture to prepared baking pan. Press down gently on it and spread it out some. It does not need to cover the bottom of the pan.
  3. Bake for 7 minutes. Let cool.
  4. In a large bowl, use a hand-held mixer to beat cream cheese and remaining 1/2 cup sugar until smooth and creamy.
  5. Fold in Pineapple and Cool Whip. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. 
  6. Just before serving, crumble the pretzel mixture and mix into pineapple mixture. I like to reserve some of it to sprinkle on top.

Notes
To drain the pineapple, I like to place it in a fine-meshed sieve set over a bowl. Let it sit there a good 5 to 10 minutes so that all the excess liquid drains off.
Can be made 24 hours in advance. Keep pretzel mixture in a ziptop bag and mix in just before serving.
I use pineapple packed in pineapple juice, NOT the kind in heavy syrup.

Peanut Butter Pretzels

Ingredients 1 12- oz bag white chocolate chips 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter 2-3 cups mini pretzels 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips for drizzling OR 2 TBSP chocolate jimmies for sprinkling Instructions Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Drop 1 mini pretzel at a time into peanut butter mixture. Turn to coat. You can dip using a fork, but I prefer using a Wilton Dipping Tool. Makes it even easier!

Place semi-sweet chocolate chips in a sandwich sized bag. Microwave for 1 minute. Cut a corner of the bag and drizzle melted chocolate on pretzels. Let cool to set.(...
