Preparation
    Preheat oveen to 350 degrees.
    Line a 9 X 13 baking dish with a aluminum foil, allowing the foil to hang over the sides; coat the sides with nonstick cooking spray.
    In a medium bowl, combine the pretzels, sugar and butter.
    Press the mixture firmly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
    Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust becomes firm.
    Remove from the oven and cool slightly, leaving the oven on.
    In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients.
    Pour into the cooled crust.
    Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is firm.
    Cool completely on a wire rack.
    Pull up the ends of the foil to remove from the pan, and cut into bars.
    NOTE: These freeze really well, but be sure to place them in a tightly covered container.
    Precut into bars before freezing.
    To serve, remove as many as needed and thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
