Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. To Make Crust: In a medium bowl, combine pretzel crumbs, sugar and butter. Press mixture into the bottom and 1 3/4 inches up the side of a 9 inch springform pan.

  3. Bake in preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until firm and lightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
