What have you been chained to all week? Your crazy-jealous future ex-girlfriend? Facebook? Work? Something too naughty for me to print? We’ve all been chained to something this week, so how about break’n away from your ball and chain, and WHIP up this easy, twisted-delicious no-bake pie? It’s sweet, salty and creamy. Leave me a comment about what you’ve been chained to all week, I’d so love to know.
P.S. Thank you Phil for another off-the-margin photo shoot. You are fierce.
P.S.S. Chains from my favorite young New York designer, Lauren. Her style is sexy with a major edge. She’s twisted and beautiful!
Oh yum yum and you can chain me to those scrumptious pretzels……
again u’ve out done urself…love it…youre awesome
Holy bondage, Batman! That looks deeelish!
I can’t wait to try this recipe- love the key lime feel with pretzel crust, haven’t used that before.. yumm!
Mmmm… another great, easy recipe. I can’t tell you what I’ve been chained to, I embarrass too easily.
I wish I had something fun to be CHAINED to, but a lass it is my stitches that have me ALL TIED UP!!!
Beautiful pics, awesome site, FAB JENNY!
Sadly, I have been chained to my desk all week. It’s so friggin’ hot outside right now, this would be the perfect dessert, if only I had some pretzels & lime jello!
Jenny,
this is so crazy I just have to try it- I am planning to make it for a potluck next weekend. Are you going to the Bali Hai tomorrow?
That is a definite crowd pleaser…a must for parties:)
oooooooh! salty and sweet! sounds delicious and you look fabulous. chains, boots and skin …very sexy.
Sexy lady!!! I love these pics and recipe!!
Yet again… A total Knockout. When does your show start on the food network?
No one but Jenny at Vintage Sugarcube could have imagined this whole piece! A seriously inspired creation.
NOw this one looks a little odd to me, but I”M CERTAIN it tastes GREAT! Hey and where’d she get the necklace?! Love it! A girl can’t ask for much more… great sweets and great fashion! Cheers
Yum! Yum! Sounds like a recipe I am going to have to try!!! Great pics again!!

How would’ve known…that quiet little girl in Sister Maria Cabretti’s 4th grade class was so talented, witty, creative, and not to mention…a HOT THANG!!!! Hee hee! Keep up the good work!
This tart looks so great! Yet again, amazing photos as well! Regarding what I’ve been chained to this week, it’s actually been something good! I’ve completely fallen in love with a new book series and can’t stop reading ‘em. I guess the only downside is that it cuts into my homework time.
hehe
Jenny, this dessert looks equally at home for a dominatrix’s dinner party or at a church bazaar – how often does one find that?!? Good for you for bringing style and simplicity in desserts to the blogosphere. Your choice of background is inspired, and it looks a bit more HOT down in SD, CA….
Thanks,
Dan
Simply stunning…..wow!!! and that dessert looks pretty darn good too!!
Those images are incredible!
What a whimsical treat with great flavors!
you are having too much fun! It’s great not to take things too seriously- unless it is desert.
Mmm, salty sweet is always a winner, and I esp like the pretzel crust! Awesome photo shoot!
What fun. I love salty and sweet together and I know that this would be a hit at my house. I think I am going to attempt this for my Mom’s birthday later this month!!! Thanks.
I’d rather be chained to a giant bag of pretzels any day!
I love how you can use the pretzels on the top, too, as almost a spoon to scoop up all that sweet, fluffy pie.
Caroline.. Great minds think alike. That’s exactly what I did! Scooped that filling right up with those buttery, salty, sweet pretzels! xoxo
Thank you everyone for the kind, kind words! It sure would be boring, doing this without you…xoxo
That looks great. I love that you incorporated pretzels.
I’ve been chained to this guy I’ve been dating who DOESN’T like sweets!!!!!! Ahhh, I’m over not getting any dessert after dinner…cutting him off and making this sinful treat allll for myself!
Where do you come up with these? The recipe is so cool, and I love that you’re still keeping the ‘no bake’ theme during the summer. The pictures are great too.
Great idea. Salty and Sweet are the best!
Wow – I love the sound of this recipe. Salty, sugary and easy – what’s not to like about it! Extra bonus for me – I recently found some gluten free pretzels so I can make this for my daugther with the wheat allergy. Hooray! She will love it! Thanks for the awesome inspiration Jenny!
HO MAY GAWD! This is crazy beautiful. The chains, the flavors, the odd practicality of it all, the sunset shots. And you, of course. Such a star, Jenny! Can’t wait for your next post already.
I am chained to my desk and the sins of my past. Maybe the pie wil lhwlp me break free…
No you are fierce! I’ve been chained to my 8 week old daughter and my two and a half year old son. Oh and the kitchen…but I’m not complainin’
Work, Work, & more Work! No Fun at all.
Hey I had a piece of pie, straight from the creator and it was Fabulous!!!
Forget Alice! Pie ‘n chains looks much more yummy!
I gotta get me some of that.
Fantastic photos and it doesn’t get better than salty and sweet!!
What a great combination of flavors! This is definitely something I’d like to be chained to
Cute post!
wow! sweet and salty is the best combination and this looks just great, Jennifer (as do you!). if you ever get the recipe for the pistachio pudding, whipped cream, pineapple and marshmallow dessert, could you please share it on your great website?
Love the idea of pretzel on lime tart. it looks cool and so creative.
Love your photos very much.
Thanks for stopping by Liv! Much appreciated!!
Oooooh, salty, tart and sweet. A threesome tease for me!
Great combo Jenny! never thought about lime and pretzels…….wonder if I could grill that somehow? LOL Keep up the GREAT work. Thanks Jenny for following your so creative dream, your an inspiration to us all.
This was one fun looking photoshoot! Excellent pictures and I love the colors! Bravo!
I have definitely been chained to my desk. Very impressive!
Work is chaining me down these days, but only 2 months to go! This recipe looks amazing! I will have to try it when I’m up and around and not chained down by… wait … my belly – that’s the chain these days! Still enjoying some AMAZING cupcakes!
AWESOME!
The recipe – twisted. The pictures – appetizing. You – chained? Certainly not in the dazzling little black number and the kick-a** boots. Love your free spirit. Keep ‘em coming.
“Love to faults is always blind, always is to joy inclined. Lawless, winged, and unconfined, and breaks all chains from every mind.”

I wish I could take pictures like this with my desserts! How fun! I’ve been chained to my desk all week.. but at least I have foodbuzz and facebook to keep me company
wish I had this tart..
I’ve been thinking about using pretzles for a while but kinda scared about how it will turn out. Thanks for the post!
May Ling, I promise you that you are going to love this crust so much, you may have a hard time not eating it before you add the filling!
I made this last weekend and my family loved it! It tasted great and better yet so easy to make. Thanks for the recipe! Can’t wait to try out your next one!
Joyce!! I’m thrilled. Thanks for letting me know. xoxo
Sounds delicious, I love your creativity!
JM just told me about your site. Love all the recipes and photos. Yes, you are so creative! This salty sweet thing is especially appealing.
Pretzel pie and ass-kicking boots. Love it. Chains too! Just divine salty sweetness. Oh and the food looks good too.
