Dreamy Cherry Pretzel Torte

This recipe is from the collection of Viola Widmann Weigel

1 cup butter or margarine

3/4 cup sugar

2 cups coarsely crushed pretzels

Melt butter and mix in sugar and pretzels

Filling

1 package cream cheese

1/2 cup confectioners sugar

2 boxes 2 oz each whipped topping mix

1 can 32 oz cherry pie filling

Blend cream cheese, sugar, add whipped topping. Spread half cheese mixture on crust. Add cherries and cream. Top with remaining pretzels.

Note – I posted this recipe the way that my grandmother wrote it. I found another recipe for this online and the directions are much clearer (she must have made this a lot and used these notes as a guide). 1 cup of the pretzels should be reserved for the top. Crust mixture should be pressed into a 9×13 pan. Mix whipped topping separately from cream cheese and confectioners sugar. Fold topping into cheese mix. Spread half mixture on crust. Top with pie filling. Spread remaining cheese mix on top. Sprinkle remaining pretzel on top. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
