I must say that this is an interesting dessert. I haven't ever seen one quite like it. Thanks for sharing.

My SIL always makes this and brings it to gatherings, it is soooo gooood!! Ajrsmom, that is the same name I know it by also!

Does this have that salt with sweet flavor?

[cat lover]

It's surprising I know, but you never taste the salt at all. It is a great recipe for buffets and potlucks and can serve as dessert and/or a side dish(salad).

Oh, I like those salt-sweet combinations, in which you can taste the salt. It's like a bit of salt then a bit of sweet. (Like chocolate covered pretzels.)

Here is what it looks like. I've always made mine in a 9x13 dish but this round one is pretty, too. :D

I want some of this so bad right now!! :p :p

[cat lover]

Same here, but I like the way it looks in a the round dish, why I never thought of that I don't know, but would surprise lots of people, that is the only way they have probably seen it also! LOL

You can also make it with pretzels that are salt-free.
