Absolutely love making Jell-O desserts, & ones like this are really nice, especially in combination with the salty pretzels & the cream cheese! And although I probably could have eaten most of it myself, I managed, somehow, to share almost half of it with a neighbor couple! Definitely on my to-make-again list! Thanks for sharing it!
