Pretzel Salad Recipe  

August 13, 2009 | By kapratt | No Comments »

This Pretzel Salad recipe is a summertime classic – and the name might sound a bit weird, but you should give it a chance! The crust is made out of crushed pretzels, and then the filling of cream cheese and cool whip is added, topped by frozen strawberries and jello! This recipe is something that a co-worker gave to my wife years ago, and for some reason we had never come accross it. Apparently it’s a tradition in many families, as much as green bean casserole at holidays! This recipe works well at family gatherings, when you have people coming over, picnics, barbeque’s, and when you need to take a dish with you to pass!

Here’s the ingredients you’ll need:

Crust

  • 2 cups crushed pretzels
  • 3/4 cup melted butter
  • 3 teaspoons sugar

Mix ingredients and press into a 9×13 pan. Bake 8 minutes at 400 degrees F.

Filling

  • 1 8 ounce package cream cheese
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 8 ounce container cool whip

Mix cream cheese well with sugar. Fold in cool whip. Spread on cooled crust.

Top Layer

  • 6 ounce package strawberry jello
  • 2 ten ounce packages frozen strawberries, unthawed
  • 2 cups boiling water

Mix together, let stand 10 minutes. Pour over top and chill.

That’s it! This should easily serve 10-12 (or more!).
