Delicious Pretzel Dessert saves both time and money. "The recipe makes a big batch of this sweet and salty, creamy and crunchy treat," says Rita Winterberger of Huson, Montana. "That's fine with us because any dessert that's left over is super the next day, too."

I took this to a church potluck dinner and it was the hit of the dessert table! It was easy to make, but looked like I went to a lot of trouble. Many people (guys & gals!) wanted the recipe. It is definitely a keeper with my bunch!
