Chopped pretzels and brown sugar make a perfect salty-sweet crust for these creamy layered cherry bars.”

You can also make this dessert in individual clear custard cups or small 8-ounce canning jars. Place layer of pretzel mixture on the bottom. Next, add cream cheese mixture and top with pie filling. You can also use raspberry or blueberry pie filling!

This recipe is a winner! I’ve been searching for it for ages… it was a childhood favorite.

This was a big hit! Loved the pretzel bottom and the hint of salty with all the sweet. Super simple dessert to throw together. Will definitely be making again!
