I made this for a family get together. You definitely have to drain the pineapple, which should be noted in recipe. so glad I listened to other reviewers. I used some of the juice for the whole packet of pudding and also added 1/4 cup of milk. I did everything else the same as recipe. The crust was a little to salty for my taste, but maybe it was the pretzels I used.Some of my family said they would really like it with my homemade graham cracker crust. So I think I would make it that way next time.

I used a stick-and-a-half of butter; and followed the rest of the instructions carefully; the pretzles were still really googey/rubbery and didn't stick together; I then put the middle layer on; perfect taste, and then put on the pudding/pineapple mixture; this combination was not very good. We threw most of this out. Even my daughter who'll eat any dessert thought it was "okay". I wouldn't make this version again. Next time, I'll use a pre-baked sugar cookie dough and then mix strawberry jam and coolwhip combined with red food coloring for the top layer.

I did use the pineapple juice to make the pudding, but otherwise I did not change the recipe at all. It was very good...even my boyfriend who was very skeptical to begin with, really liked it! The best part of it all is the smell of the pretzel/butter combination when it come out of the oven. Fantastically wonderful!!!

This recipe was delicious. It is a light pineapple taste with some creaminess & a touch of saltiness. Its not overly sweet, but still suitable to be called dessert. I made it as the recipe stated, but as others was a touch confused about directions. I drained well & reserved juices from pineapple. Then I added the dry pudding mix into the well drained pineapple stirring well then adding a touch of juice back in to get a consistency that would spread but hold steady when scooping out. I will have to say, I only made this one time and took it to a gathering that I used to get raves on others dishes but got none on this. I liked it & will make it again for my family.

Always a hit. Holds up well, even on a warm day. Does not "melt" like strawberry version. Cool, refreshing and have always come home with an empty pan.

This was too sweet for my liking, and I followed the recipe exactly. The sugar and whip cream and vanilla pudding mix are just sugar overload. I'd suggest adding some lemon juice to the pineapple to make it a little more tart and prevent it from browning. I won't be trying this again.

Just made this for a gathering we are having this afternoon. Of course, the cook has to taste test. It was excellent. I used a full package of sugar free pudding and substituted splenda. Turned out great. Definitely a keeper recipe.

This was delicious! I like it better than the strawberry version. I did have to add 1/2 cup more pretzels, since the crust was saturated in butter. I would probably add a little more dry vanilla pudding to the pineapple next time, because I would have like a stronger vanilla taste. As other have said, DRAIN THE PINEAPPLE extremely well. (I will use a colander next time). Overall, though, this recipe is worth making again.

Crust--1-1/2 C pretzels, 3/4 C Sugar, & 6 TBSP Butte Topping--1-1/2 (20oz) Can of Crushed Pineapple, & entire (3.4oz) pkg of pudding mix. Everyone enjoyed, but I still prefer the jello with strawberries topping.
