For a nuttier flavor, toast the crushed pretzels in a dry skillet for a few minutes before adding the melted butter. Ensure the pineapple is thoroughly drained to prevent a soggy salad. If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the amount of sugar in the cream cheese mixture. Feel free to substitute different flavors of instant pudding mix, such as coconut or banana, to customize the flavor profile. Garnish with additional crushed pretzels or a sprinkle of shredded coconut before serving for added texture and visual appeal.
