For lack of time and good blog material, I am going to share another favorite holiday recipe with y’all. My family makes this at just about every one of our gatherings.
Forgive me if you’ve already added this to your favorites list, but perhaps there are some who have sadly missed out on this slice of heaven.
Strawberry Pretzel Salad:
You will need:
2 2/3 cups small pretzels
3/4 cup margarine (or butt-ah) melted
1 cup + 3T sugar
8 oz Cool Whip
8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
2 cups boiling water
2 small boxes Strawberry Jell-O
16 oz frozen strawberries, thawed
1. Crush pretzels and mix with melted margarine and 3 Tablespoons of sugar. Press into bottom of 9x13 inch dish. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes then let COOL.
2. Cream the softened cream cheese with 1 cup of sugar. Then stir in 8 oz Cool Whip.
3. Spread cream cheese/cool whip mixture on COOLED pretzel crust! I try to make sure all the edges are well covered to prevent the top layer from leaking through resulting in a soggy crust.
4. Mix Jell-O with boiling water. Add thawed strawberries. And let this mixture cool and begin to congeal.
5. Once the strawberry Jell-O mixture begins to “set”, pour over the top of the cream cheese layer.
6. Let it chill in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.
7. ENJOY!

I've never had this?? And it still sounds strange..but I like strange.
Thanks for posting this!
It is an odd combo but I think I had it once as a kid and loved it. Thanks for reminding me of this and the Tang! hehe
Oh, yes mam! This is one of my most favorite salads too!
PS,HELOVES YOU- I thought strange when I heard of it so many years ago (I was a kid) and thought the combinations sounded gross, but be warned, you will forever be addicted.
If is shows up at a function, you will find yourself in a dark corner with a soup spoon, eatting as fats as you can.
YEs. It is THAT. GOOD.
One of my absolute favs!

Hi. I'm a proud GRITS from Alabama too! My mom and I LOVE strawberry pretzel salad!
I love, love, love this dessert! My mom makes it all low fat & sugar free but it still tastes divine! She used honey wheat pretzels the last time to reduce the sodium & it turned out really well. You got just a hint of the honey flavor in the crust. Mmmmm, I think I might have to have the last piece here in a minute.
