How to Make Pretzel Jello Jell O Salad Dessert
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly crush 1 ½ cups of pretzels.
- In a medium bowl, combine crushed pretzels, ¾ cup melted butter, and 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Press the pretzel mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan or similar sized dish.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- While the crust cools, prepare the cream cheese layer: In a large bowl, beat together 8-12 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and 12 ounces of Cool Whip until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled pretzel crust.
- Prepare the Jell-O layer: In a medium bowl, dissolve 1 (6-ounce) package of instant strawberry Jell-O in 2 cups of boiling water until completely dissolved.
- Let the Jell-O mixture cool slightly until it begins to thicken (about 10-15 minutes).
- Stir in 2 (10-ounce) packages of thawed and drained strawberries.
- Gently spread the strawberry Jell-O mixture over the cream cheese layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the dessert to set completely.
- Serve chilled. Top with extra Cool Whip if desired!
