My grandmother gave me this recipe about 35 years ago, only she named it "Pretzel Salad", why? I don't know. I like the name of this recipe. The only difference in recipes is I use powder sugar where your's calls out sugar. I love, love, love this recipe. It's usually at the holidays that I make it. But you can make it every week if you want, it's that good.
