How to Make Crunchy Strawberry Jello Salad
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups crushed pretzels, ¼ cup melted butter, and 3 tablespoons granulated sugar. Mix well.
- Press the pretzel mixture firmly into the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking pan.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Let cool completely.
- In a large bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), ¾ cup granulated sugar, and 1 (8 ounce) container of whipped topping until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled pretzel crust.
- Prepare 6 ounces strawberry jello according to package directions, but allow it to set only partially (about half way).
- Gently fold in 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries into the partially set jello.
- Carefully pour the strawberry jello mixture over the cream cheese layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the jello is completely set.
- Cut into squares and serve chilled.
