Method

In a saucepan, combine 1/3 cup sugar, cornstarch and salt. Gradually stir in 1 1/2 cups milk, half and half and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in peanut butter and vanilla until smooth. Refrigerate about 1 hour or until cooled. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Take crescent rolls out of package and unroll. Separate crescent rolls and put them together in a circular shape, points facing center, to form a circle pie crust. With a rolling pin, smooth out crescent rolls until smooth and seams are pushed together to form a pie crust. Lay crescent roll crust into a 9 inch pie pan making sure sides are covered and crescent rolls lay slightly over top edge of pan, to form a nice pie crust. Melt butter and spread onto crescent roll crust. Bake 8-13 minutes or until golden brown. Take out of oven and cool completely. While crust is cooling, mix cream cheese, 1 cup sugar and 2 tbsp milk. Mix until smooth. Spread cream cheese mixture onto cooled crescent roll crust. Spread jam onto cream cheese. Sprinkle raspberries onto jam. Spread 1 cup pretzels onto raspberries and jam. Spread cooled peanut butter pudding onto pretzels. Spread Cool Whip over peanut butter pudding. Top with 1/4 cup crushed pretzels. Refrigerate for 4 hours.
