Papaya passionfruit pretzel crumble
Pretzels make a great crust for this crumble. Tropicals like papaya and passionfruit make it unforgettable. Either way, papaya, passionfruit, and pretzels go great together.
Ingredients
- Crust
- Butter, melted - 3/4 cups
- Pretzels - 1- 6 oz. bag
- Sugar - 1/8 cup

- Orange-flavored gelatin - 3 oz pkg
- Boiling water - 2 cups
- Caribbean Red® papaya - 1/2 or 2 cups chopped

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°.
- Put the butter in a large, microwave-safe bowl, and microwave on high for 45 seconds. Remove with a pot holder.

- Spray a 9" x 12" rectangular baking dish with cooking spray. Scoop the pretzel mixture into the bottom and press down.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Follow the directions on the gelatin package to make quick-set gelatin. If you want a crunchy filling, let the gelatin almost set to the point that it's not really pourable. Otherwise, let the mixture thicken slightly.
