Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups mini pretzel twists
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
  • One 8-ounce container frozen whipped topping, such as Cool Whip, thawed
  • One 6-ounce package strawberry flavored gelatin, such as Jell-O
  • 16 ounces strawberries, hulled and sliced thin

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the mini pretzel twists, sugar, and melted butter. Mix well and transfer to a 9×13 inch baking dish, pressing firmly to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Fold in the thawed whipped topping.
  4. Once the pretzel crust has cooled, spread the cream cheese mixture over the crust.
  5. Prepare the strawberry gelatin according to the package instructions and let cool slightly.
  6. Add the hulled and sliced strawberries to the gelatin mixture and stir gently to combine.
  7. Pour the strawberry mixture over the cream cheese layer.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. Slice into squares and serve chilled.

Notes

For added flavor, consider adding fresh lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture.
