Hubby and I thought this was good, but just because of my own preferences, i think I would have liked it better without the cream cheese & whipped cream layer. I LOVED the pretzel crust- I could have eaten that alone. This made for a pretty good dessert on a hot Texas day. Thanks for posting.

    This is a great recipe that I've been using for years. However, I use 2 1/2 cups pretzels and ONLY 1/3 cup melted butter. I think 3/4 cup makes the crust too greasy. This recipe is my job every Christmas! Thanks.

    This is a great dessert for summer. It was delicious. I like a thick pretzel crust so I bumped up the pretzel, butter, and sugar amounts. Thanks for the recipe!
