Salty'N'Sweet Pretzel Treats

Why I Love This Recipe
This recipe is still in need of some tweaking. It was well liked, but I thought there was too much marshmallow. My thoughts is to add about half the marshmallow to the pretzels and see if it is enough. Or you could figure a way to cut the recipe in half or thirds. But it is a great combination of salty and sweet, I like it better than Rice Krispie Treats.
