How To Make pineapple pretzel salad

  • Step 1
    Combine the cream cheese and confectioner's sugar, almond extract and vanilla in a mixing bowl and blend well. Fold in the whipped topping and drained pineaple until evenly mixed. Refrigerate.
  • Step 2
    Combine the crushed pretzels, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until evenly coated. Place in oven that has been preheated to 425 degrees and bake for 5 minutes. Remove and allow mixture to cool.
  • Step 3
    Add the pretzels to the cream cheese mixture just prior to serving. The pretzels will get soggy if they are mixed in the salad for a long time. Still tastes yummy, just not crunchy.
