I initially thought the butter measurement was wrong on the recipe. Should be melting 1 1/2 sticks of butter or margarine. Not sure why the crust has been crumbly for some of you. Consider refridgerating it after it's all cooked. I think they're better a little chilled! The crust usually stays well intact too!

I put the pretzels in my blender and literaly made fine crumbs out of 90% of it. There is a layer on top of larger chunks. But I think that's the secret to holding the crust together--the butter can bind with the fine crumbs easier than the crumbly chunks.

Crust crumbled as others said and overall it was dry. I rarely meet a brownie recipe I don't like, but these are not very good.

If I were to make this again I would add less pretzels. Maybe 2 cups and one cup of butter. These tasted great but I think it was just too much pretzel that would not hold together. I do think putting them in the freezer was a good idea they got a more solid feeling. I will make them again with the smaller amount of pretzels and one cup of butter.
After reading the reviews I tried a few things, I added more butter to crust and one tablespoon of flour. I also used one tablespoon of powdered sugar. I put it in the freezer. Even with all these changes the crust still crumbled. Next time I would used 2 cups of crushed pretzels and one cup of butter. The topping was great. A good recipe but the crust needs work.

I wish I would have read the reviews before I made these. My crust fell apart as well.

I agree with the other reviewers...easy recipe, but the crust fell apart. Frustrating, because I threw nearly half the pretzel mixture down the drain. Next time, I will try adding more butter to hold it together.

The crust did not hold together. Tried to add more butter and sugar...still didn't work.

Very yummy, but the pretzel crust was crumbly. Next time I may add more butter to the crust to try and hold it together better. Overall good easy recipe though.
