Strawberry Pretzel Salad

So many people loved the Strawberry Pretzel Salad served at the grad party this weekend and asked for the recipe so I'll just post it here to make it easily accessible!!

Strawberry Pretzel Salad


Bottom layer:
2 Cups crushed pretzels
3/4 cup melted butter
1 Tablespoon sugar

Mix the three ingredients and then spread into the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan. Bake at 400 for 8 minutes.

Middle layer:
8 oz. Cream Cheese
8oz. Whipped Topping
1 Cup of sugar

Whip these three ingredients together. When the pan is completely cooled (chilling in the fridge speeds this process up!) spread the mixture on top of the pretzels. Important!: Make sure that it spreads from edge to edge completely so that no jello can leak through to the pretzels!!

Top layer:
6 oz. package of Strawberry Jello (large box)
2 10 oz. packages of frozen strawberries

Dissolve jello in 2 cups of boiling water and add frozen strawberries, stirring to mix. Carefully pour on top of the cheese mixture (it creates craters easily if you pour too quickly). Refrigerate the whole dish until firm. Enjoy!!
