This recipe is from Lisa, a wonderful girl, who is my beautician in Wisconsin. I call her girl b/c she used to be a student of mine about 30 years ago. Oh, dear how time passes by. Now she is a model parent and wife who could also be a model in a magazine. I am guessing at the amount of pretzels. But what a great way to use up leftover pretzels! This recipe does not include the chilling of the fruit salad. Break up the pretzels inside a bag. Ingredients:
3 cups pretzels, broken up into small pieces |
4 tablespoons butter |
1 cup brown sugar |
2 (3 1/2 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding |

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Line a jelly roll pan with foil.
3. Break up pretzels on pan.
4. Melt butter in microwave, add brown sugar, stir together, and dump onto pretzels.
