You are very welcome, Ocean.

Note: I doubled that recipe. Also, I don't wait for the thickening, I make the jello then add all the other stuff, then put in the fridge. It turns out fine.

Still the best

PRETZEL SALAD

BOTTOM LAYER – CRUST:

2 cups broken pretzels
3/4 cup melted butter
1 tbsp. sugar

Mix together, pat in bottom of 9x13x2 cake pan.
Bake at 350F 8 min. and cool.


MIDDLE LAYER – CREAMY:

8 oz cream cheese (softened)
12 oz tub cool whip
1 cup sugar

Mix together until smooth and creamy; spread over cooled pretzel crust.

TOP LAYER - JELLO & FRUIT:

2 pkg. small strawberry Jello
2 cups boiling water
20 oz frozen, sliced strawberries

Stir together until Jello is dissolved. The cold strawberries will help to make it set faster.
Refrigerate until it begins to gel but do not allow to solidify. Pour over the creamy layer.

Refrigerate until set and serve.

NOTE: Sometimes I do the preparation out of order, I start my Jello first so it can begin gelling, then the crust so it can get cooled, then the middle. It seems to all work out at about the same time.

PRETZEL SALAD

TOP LAYER - JELLO & FRUIT:

2 pkg. small strawberry Jello
2 cups boiling water
20 oz frozen, sliced strawberries

I have close to the same recipe, but it uses crushed pineapple that is heated and thickened, then spread on top. Very tasty!

Blend together cream cheese and remaining ½ cup of sugar. Add Cool Whip to the mixture and mix well. Spread evenly over the top of pretzel mixture. Top with pineapple mixture. Refrigerate.
