Strawberry Jello Pretzel Salad
Ingredients
Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups crushed pretzels
- 4 1/2 tbsp white sugar
- 3/4 cup melted butter
Cream cheese layer:
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 (8 oz) cream cheese
- 1 (8 oz) frozen whipped topping
Strawberry layer:
- 1 (6 oz) strawberry jello
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 (16 oz) frozen strawberries
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Mix the pretzels, 4 1/2 tbsp sugar, and butter in a 9x13 pan. Bake until toasted. Cool completely.
- Beat the 1 cup sugar and the cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the whipped topping. Spread evenly over the crust and refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.
- Stir together the jello and boiling water. Mix in the frozen strawberries until thawed. Pour over the cream cheese mixture.
- Refrigerate until set, about 1-2 hours, before serving.
Notes
- The original gives no baking time for the crust, only "until toasted."
