• The sweet pineapple mixture and crunchy pretzels in this Pineapple Pretzel Salad come together to make the perfect sweet treat with just a hint of salt and pretzel crunch.
• It is such an easy recipe. Once you bake your sugar coated, salty pretzels, you’ll just toss everything together in a large mixing bowl.
• For it to be so simple, this recipe will take your taste buds on an adventure between the sweet cream cheese, delicious pineapple, and satisfying crunch of the crushed pretzels.
• While not technically a no bake dessert, we do consider this to be on the same scale as far as ease to make.
