This delightful strawberry pretzel salad combines the crunch of pretzels with sweet strawberries and a creamy filling, making it a perfect dessert for any occasion.
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush the pretzel sticks and mix them with melted butter and sugar until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a baking dish and bake for about 10 minutes. Let it cool completely.
In a separate bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping until evenly mixed. Spread this creamy layer over the cooled pretzel crust.
For the topping, dissolve the strawberry gelatin in boiling water, then stir in the sliced fresh strawberries. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before pouring it over the cream cheese layer.
Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours, or until set. Once ready, slice and serve this luscious treat to your family and friends.
