Pineapple/Pretzel Salad image

This is my MIL's salad...she got this at the RV park they stay at in Donna, TX. It's creamy, crunchy, sweet, slightly-salty ...and very light all rolled up into one dish...the first time she made this my SIL and MIL ate the whole bowl!!..it's addictive and often requested!

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups crushed pretzels
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple tidbits, drained
12 ounces Cool Whip
8 ounces cream cheese, softened

Steps:

  • Mix the crushed pretzels, butter and sugar together.
  • Grease 9x13 pan.
  • Place pretzel mixture in greased pan and bake for 10 minutes at 350°F.
  • Cool slightly and break pieces into chunks.
  • Beat cream cheese until well whipped and fluffy.
  • Add the Cool Whip; blend well.
  • Fold in the pineapple tidbits.
  • Chill- for about 1 hour.
  • About 1/2 hour before serving-- add pretzel pieces.
  • Best served same day, otherwise the pretzels will get soggy. For a large group, I'd suggest doubling the recipe.
