For a richer flavor, use salted butter instead of margarine. Be sure to reduce the amount of salt in your filling to compensate. Pulse the pretzels in a food processor for even, fine crumbs. You can also crush them in a zip-top bag using a rolling pin. This crust can also be used for a 9-inch pie dish. Simply reduce the ingredients by about one-third. If the crust seems too dry, add a tablespoon of melted butter or margarine at a time until it comes together easily when pressed.
