Some people like to make pineapple fluff with pretzels mixed in for a sweet-salty crunch. To try this variation, mix together 1 cup of crushed pretzels, 1/2 cup melted butter and 1/2 cup of sugar. Bake at 400 degrees for 7 minutes, then cool completely. Just before serving, mix the sweetened pretzel pieces into the pineapple fluff, reserving some to sprinkle over the top.
