Strawberry Pretzel Salad
Ingredients:
- 2 cups crushed pretzels
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup butter, melted
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 6 oz strawberry gelatin
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 cups sliced strawberries
Directions:
1. Let's start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a medium bowl and mix together the crushed pretzels, sugar, and that lovely melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish and pop it in the oven for 10 minutes. Let it cool completely—it’s going to be the perfect crunchy base!
2. Now, in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar until you get a silky smooth mixture. Gently fold in the whipped topping, and spread this creamy layer over your cooled pretzel crust.
3. For the fruity top layer, dissolve strawberry gelatin in boiling water, stirring until it's completely dissolved. Then, mix in those juicy sliced strawberries. Carefully pour this mixture over the cream cheese layer.
4. Slide this delicious creation into the fridge and let it chill for at least 4 hours. This is where the magic happens, as all the layers set together. Enjoy your delightful Strawberry Pretzel Salad when everything’s perfectly set!
