Strawberry Pretzel Salad

This is a favorite of ours! Because I am allergic to strawberries, I substitute frozen raspberries and raspberry gelatin with no compromise in flavor. Thank you for sharing!

Many years ago in college, a fellow student brought in this dessert for one of our assignments. Hers used raspberry jello and frozen raspberries. I was so hesitant to try it (due to the pretzel factor), but once I did, I couldn't get enough. Though she handed out the recipe, I lost it over the years. I have made this twice now in the past month to accolades both times. I don't remember the original recipe I had using sugar in the crust, but it really adds something special. After cooking, the sugar/butter seem to caramelize. You need to make sure to grease the dish before putting the pretzel crust in, as mine stuck both times. The first time, my 9x13" pan wasn't clean, so I put it into two 8x8" dishes. This worked just as well. Next time, I am thinking about trying it with orange jello and a can of sliced mandarin oranges. Thank you!

I didn't make this particular recipe but the same recipe was in a cookbook from a company I worked for. It was the hit of the party. I don't like strawberries (or any type of berries for that matter) so I didn't eat any of it, but everyone that did just raved about it, even my husband. Take this to a party or serve your guests at home and everyone will love you!

Great recipe!
I've made this twice, and have used sliced fresh strawberries both times. I also turned on my broil just before I took the pretzel layer out from the oven to try to give it a little extra crisp. The only issue I've had is when I pour in the jello mixture, it finds it's way beneath the cream cheese layer. I'm probably not letting the gelatin firm up enough before I add it...the dish still seems to dissapear in a snap though!

I made this for a potluck using 1/2 cup butter, then followed the rest of the recipe exactly. It was easy to make, I like recipes that I can make the day before I need them. I had many requests for the recipe.

Great taste! There was extra cream cheese filling. I used Gluten Free pretzels and also used that crust for my chocolate pudding pie! Yum.

We loved it! Great for Christmas dinner. I will definitely be making this tasty, yet easy to make recipe again. I have never had it before and am so glad I tried it.

My aunt used to make this salad every Christmas when I was growing up. This one is great, I might have to make it this year to feel like a kid again:)

Fantastic recipe! I made this for the 4th of July picnic and it was a huge hit. I'm sure I'll be making it again soon! :)

I really enjoyed this dessert. I messed up and let the jello set a little much and it was "chunky" when I poured it onto the cream cheese layer. Also, I put pecans in the pretzel mix and it was quite good.

Hubby and I thought this was good, but just because of my own preferences, i think I would have liked it better without the cream cheese & whipped cream layer. I LOVED the pretzel crust- I could have eaten that alone. This made for a pretty good dessert on a hot Texas day. Thanks for posting.

I guess my family has different tastes. We weren't thrilled with the crust, felt it was too salty (of coarse it is, it's pretzels!!). It just wasn't for us. We like the rest and it would be great for summer, and it is especially easy.

Made this for Christmas dinner and it was wonderful. As another review suggested, I did use more pretzels and less butter and thought it turned out great! Thanks for posting!

Wonderful!! I made this yesterday and the only change was I used powdered sugar in the cream cheese layer, but followed the rest of the recipe. My Mom used to make this when I was a child, thanks for the recipe :-)

I didn't wait long enough to cool down the crust, so when I poured on the jello it sank right to the crust. It wasn't that bad, though. I'm docking it one star because the filling was light, but overall the dessert seemed a bit too sugary. I did get a request for the recipe though, so it was good overall. =)

Soooooooo wonderful the night of, kind of gross the day after. I have issues with soggy stuff, so its the kind of dish that you make for an event where it will all get eaten, we had a small gathering and had a ton of leftovers, we couldnt eat them fast enough and had to toss it after a day or so cause it was just icky.

Delicious, even with its soggy crust. No fault of the recipe, but my own. I used splenda in place of sugar and fresh, splenda sweetened strawberries. Since my berries weren't frozen my gelatin wasn't setting up fast enough for me I dumped it on top of the cream cheese layer and it seeped through to the pretzel. Oh well, live and learn. LOL

i almost made the mistake of letting the jello set before pouring it on top of the cream cheese layer. i didn't realize it would set so fast! it was a good thing i checked it right away. we loved it. the kids had some mixed reviews tho. my daughter only liked the crust and cream cheese layer, while my son only liked the jello and strawberries layer. my husband loved the whole thing. very unique and different from anything we've ever tried but we were pleasantly surprised. thanks for sharing!
