This is a family fave!!! I used a 12 oz. container of thawed cool-whip instead of the dream whip, and it worked nicely. EXCELLENT!!! ~Manda

This recipe is absolutely delicious! We serve it at most of our family parties. I use Cool Whip instead of Dream Whip and it is wonderful. Thank you!

I added a can of crushed pineapples to the jello mixture and used two containers of frozen strawberries. Somehow or another...the crushed pretzel mixture tastes a lot like pecans. YUMMY!!!!

This is always served at family get togethers. Very rich, but I have substituted fat free cream cheese, spenlda, and cool whip successfully to help with the calorie count. Great recipe.
