Pretzel Cheesecake

By srumbel

This Pretzel Chesescake recipe came from a collection of recipes I have from *Charm’s Countryview Inn in Charm, Ohio. It’s also known as pretzel salad, but I actually think this is a little different from pretzel salad, as most people think of it. This recipe does not have Jell-O in it. You could say it has a little less salad and a lot more cheesecake. Hence: Pretzel Cheesecake.
