How to Make Strawberry Jello Pretzel Dessert

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush pretzels into fine crumbs. In a bowl, combine pretzel crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined.
  2. Press the pretzel mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  3. Let the crust cool completely.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and Cool Whip until smooth and creamy. Spread evenly over the cooled pretzel crust.
  5. Prepare the strawberry Jell-O according to package directions. Gently fold in the sliced fresh strawberries.
  6. Pour the strawberry Jell-O mixture over the cream cheese layer. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the Jell-O to fully set.
  7. Slice and serve chilled. Garnish with fresh strawberries if desired.
