Yes, it should be 1-1/2 STICKS of butter, not cups. That's 3/4 cup.

I make this a lot & to make the crust using 2 cups of crushed pretzels, the melted butter should be 3/4 cup.

Hi mamascooken2 - We checked the original recipe and it does call for 1.5 cups of butter, however if you feel this is too much, you could certainly cut back on the quantity. Let us know how it turns out! -The editors of RecipeLion

cheryls1309 had a good question but was never answered. Does sound like alot of butter to me also. Was there a miss print? I would go by the Strawberry Pretzel Jello Salad recipe. Sounds more like this should be.

You sure this should say 1 1/2 CUPS of butter? It is runny as heck. There was no 'pressing' this into the pan. Should it say 1 1/2 sticks?
