  • raspberry pretzel dessert

    I've made this a couple times now and it gets rave reviews.... someone has asked me for the recipe every time.

    1ST LAYER:

    2 c. crushed pretzels
    3/4 c. melted butter
    3 tbsp. sugar

    Mix together, spread in bottom of 9"x13" pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes; cool.

    2ND LAYER:

    8 oz. cream cheese, softened
    1 c. sugar
    9 oz. Cool Whip

    Blend cream cheese and sugar; fold in Cool Whip. Spread on cooled crust.

    3RD LAYER:

    2 (3 oz.) pkgs. raspberry Jello
    2 c. boiling water
    2 (10 oz.) pkgs. frozen raspberries

    Or strawberries, then use strawberry Jello.

    Dissolve Jello in boiling water and stir in frozen berries, when partially set, pour over 2nd layer and refrigerate.

    I haven't tried strawberry yet. there is something about the tart raspberry and salty pretzels that is so yummy
