Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray an 8x8 pan with cooking oil. Spread pretzels pieces over bottom of dish. Set aside.

Meanwhile in the bowl of a stand up mixer cream butter, yogurt, and sugars together. Add in eggs one at a time mixing in between. Then mix in the vanilla. Beat until well mixed.

Spread batter into the dish, being careful not to disturb the pretzels and bake about 20-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out almost clean. Check at about 18 minutes.
