Jello Pretzel Salad
Jello Pretzel Salad is a family favorite for bbqs and potlucks. A buttery pretzel crust topped with a cream cheese and jello layer. You can make this Jello Pretzel Salad with strawberries or raspberries. Either way, it's delicious.
Ingredients
- 2 cups pretzels, (crushed fine)
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 (6 oz pkg) strawberry jello
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 (16 oz) pkg. frozen strawberries, slightly thawed and sliced in half.
- 1 (8 oz pkg) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 8 ounces cool whip (thawed) or 2 cups fresh whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x13 pan.
- Combine pretzels, brown sugar, and melted butter and press into prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes.
- Dissolve the Jello in the boiling water, stirring for 2 minutes or until Jello is completely dissolved and then stir in the strawberries and chill. Refrigerate until partially set. *If it is not set enough it will leak through your cream cheese layer and make your pretzels soggy.
- Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Fold in cool whip or whipped cream. Spread over cooled crust make sure you spread completely to the edges to create a seal so your jello doesn't leak through. Pour jello over cream cheese layer. Refrigerate until serving.
