Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C) and start by preparing the pretzel crust. In a large mixing bowl, I combine the crushed pretzels, melted butter, and granulated sugar. The salty pretzels mixed with the sweet butter and sugar is just heavenly! Once everything is combined, I press this mixture firmly into the bottom of my baking dish and pop it into the oven for about 10 minutes. The smell of toasting pretzels fills my kitchen, making my mouth water! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
