Posted by Melissa in Dessert, Easy Family Recipes | 0 comments

Oh yum! I grew up with this dessert as a staple in my mom’s kitchen. Now, it’s my turn to surprise everyone with this delicious dessert! It’s just as good as I remember it! And, the family still dives in for seconds and thirds! But, why is it called a salad? Anyone know? Here’s the recipe for Strawberry Pretzel Salad:

You’ll Need:

• 2 cups of coarsely chopped pretzels
• 3 t of sugar
• 1/2 cup of melted unsalted butter
• 1 cup of sugar
• 8 oz. of softened cream cheese
• 8 oz. Cool Whip
• 6 oz. of strawberry jello (2 small packages)
• 2 cups of boiling water
• 2 lb. of sliced strawberries

Now, on to the delicious and refreshing dessert:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
• 
• Combine the pretzels, 3 t of sugar, and melted butter.
• Grab a 9×13 pan, and press the pretzel crust into it
• Bake the pretzel crust in the oven for 10 minutes
• 
• Let it cool. While that cools, cream the sugar and cream cheese together. Fold in the Cool Whip, and spread that over the pretzel crust
• Place in the refrigerator to chill
• 
• Now, add the strawberry jello to the 2 cups of boiling water, and stir to dissolve
• Add the sliced strawberries. Pop that in the refrigerator to chill – for about 20 minutes – It should still be liquid, just cold now!
• Pull the 9×13 pan out and pour the chilled strawberry jello mixture over the cream cheese spread
• Let the dessert chill in the refrigerator for a couple of hours so the jello can set up
• 
• That’s it! Enjoy!
