Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, combine pretzels, sugar, and butter. Press firmly into bottom of prepared baking dish.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until crust is firm; remove from oven and cool slightly, leaving oven on.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Pour into cooled crust.

Bake 25 to 30 additional minutes, or until center is firm. Cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into bars and serve, or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Note

These freeze well, but be sure to place them in a tightly covered container. When ready to serve, just remove as many as needed and thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
