I love this cherry pretzel dessert. My aunt makes it every year at Thanksgiving and Christmas. It works great with strawberry and blueberry pie filling as well.
Ingredients
- pretzels: 2 cups (crushed)
- butter: 0.5 cup (melted)
- white sugar: 3 Tbsp
- cream cheese: 1 pack (8 ounce pack, softened)
- confectioners' sugar: 1 cup
- frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®): 1 container (12 ounce container, thawed)
