I always serve this with dinner as a Jello salad, but it can also be a dessert on it's own! It is especially delicious (as Nacho would say!!:))!! I must hear that line or some other one from Nacho from my hubby or kids no less than 30 times a day!! And whenever I try I always get made fun of because I have a terrible accent! Anyway, that has nothing to do with this recipe...I just got carried away!:) Just trust me...YUM!
Raspberry Pretzel Jello Salad
1 1/2 cups crushed pretzels
1/2 cup sugar
1 cube butter, melted
1 cube cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 tub (8 oz.) cool whip
1 large box (6 oz.) Raspberry Jello
2 cups boiling water
1 bag unsweetened frozen raspberries
Pretzel Crust:
Mix and press the pretzels, 1/2 cup sugar, and melted butter into the bottom of a 9X13 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes. Let cool
Cream Center:
Blend together the cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar. Add and mix in the cool whip. Spread over the cooled pretzel crust and then refrigerate until cooled.
Jello top:
Dissolve the Jello in the boiling water. Add the raspberries and stir. Pour over the cream center and refrigerate until set. Usually 4-6 hours.
Enjoy a yummy side or a yummy dessert!!:)
So excited you posted this recipe!!! I have had it before at church dinners and LOVED it! Thanks Jana
ReplyDeleteMy Grandma used to always make this. It is so good I make it for all the special things. Anytime I ask anyone if they have ever had pretzel salad they look at me strange when I tell them what it is.
ReplyDeleteI actually first tried this at a church function years ago as well Susan!! I'm surprised it hasn't caught on and everyone knows what it is it's so darn good!:)
