You definately need a sweet tooth for these, I think I might try reducing the corn syrup and/or the sugar slightly, great texture though and the crust baked out well, my sugar-loving DS and fiance enjoyed them with no complaints! thanks Reds!...Kitten

    I was a little aprehensive about the crushed pretzels in this recipe [don't know why I should be since I LOVE dipping the buggers in chocolate/peanut butter dip!], but everything went well! VERY, VERY nice bars, & great tasting, too! Thanks for the recipe ~ will definitely keep it!

    I knew when I tagged this recipe that it was going to be sweet and salty at the same time, I even joked about it that it would be perfect for those times when the PMS monster takes over the sweet, wonderful person that I usually am. But I'm sorry to say that I supposed I am not so sweet and wonderful, because this recipe really did not do it for me. I think the issue was not the combination of sweet and salty, but that the sweet was too sweet. The pretzels in the recipe was not a problem, it was the filling that was much too sweet! I think I would like to try this with a few changes — dark chocolate chips instead of the butterscotch, and just plain, grated coconut instead of the sweetened stuff. Sorry, this just was too sweet for me, even with the pretzels.

    These were tasty! I was hoping for more of a salty-sweet combo though. Didn't get too much of the salty pretzel taste. Next time I would coarsely chop the pretzels for the filling, maybe add some more!
