Strawberry Pretzel Salad

I love this stuff... Have never made it myself, but Darin's Mom makes this for the holidays and man is it good... I don't know if it's the same recipe as Karen's, but it sounds about the same.
Will have to try it out sometime.

Ingredients
1 1/2 cup crushed pretzels
3 tablespoons sugar
1 stick of butter
1 pkg of cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1 small carton of whipped topping
2 smal boxes strawberry jello
Strawberries for garnish (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
IN a 13x9 pan combine melted butter, pretzel and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Mix together and flatten out as a crust in bottom of pan. Cook in oven for about 10 minutes.
While this layer is cooling, combine cream cheese softened, 1/2 cup sugar, and whipped topping in a bowl until well mixed. Spread over cooled crust.
While this is chilling in the refrigerator, mix together jello according to package directions. Put in the refrigerator for about 45 minutes until it begins to jell slightly. Spread over cream cheese mixture and leave in the refrigerator for 3 hours or until firm.

  1. I love this too. We always joke how it is suppose to be a salad but it is more like a dessert.
