How to Make Strawberry Pretzel Delight

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine all crust ingredients: 1 ½ cups crushed pretzels, ½ cup melted butter, ¼ cup sugar.
  3. Mix well until evenly moistened.
  4. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9 inch baking pan.
  5. Bake for 8 minutes.
  6. Let cool completely for at least 10 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, in the same large bowl, whisk together 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk and ¼ cup water until smooth.
  8. Add 1 (3.4-ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix.
  9. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes until thickened.
  10. Refrigerate for 5 minutes.
  11. Gently fold in 1 (8-ounce) container whipped topping.
  12. Spread the pudding mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
  13. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the filling is set.
  14. Spoon your favorite strawberry pie filling (approximately 2 cups) over the pudding layer.
  15. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until serving time.
  16. (Optional) Garnish individual servings with chocolate-dipped pretzel sticks shaped like Christmas trees for a festive touch.
