In food processor, pulse remaining pretzels to make 1 ½ cups finely crushed crumbs. Add sugar and cinnamon and pulse to combine. Add butter and pulse to combine. Press crumb mixture firmly into bottom of baking dish.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until filling is mostly set but still slightly jiggly in the center (filling will continue to set as it cools). Let cool completely on wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours but overnight is best.

Alternatively, cut block into 9 squares and garnish each with dollop of whipped cream or whipped topping just before serving. Garnish with ROLD GOLD® Classic Stick Pretzels and freshly grated lime zest. You will need about 6 limes for this recipe.
