Ingredients
  

2 cups crushed pretzels

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup granulated sugar (for pretzel crust)

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

12 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained

1 cup mini marshmallows

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pretzel Crust:

    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

      - In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed pretzels, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until pretzels are evenly coated.

        - Press the pretzel mix into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking dish to form a crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool completely.

          Make the Cream Cheese Mixture:

            - In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.

              Combine Ingredients:

                - Fold in the whipped topping gently into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.

                  - Add the drained crushed pineapple, mini marshmallows, and chopped nuts (if using), folding these ingredients into the mixture carefully until well distributed.

                    Assemble Salad:

                      - Once the pretzel crust has cooled completely, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust with a spatula.

                        Chill and Serve:

                          - Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best flavor. Before serving, you can sprinkle some additional crushed pretzels on top for garnish if desired.
