[Marich]

Hey everyone, I'm excited to share a delightful recipe that's been a beloved tradition in my family for gatherings and special occasions: Strawberry Pretzel Salad. This is a midwestern classic dish that combines three ingredients that result in a great harmony of tastes and textures. Picture this: crisp pretzels covered with butter and sugar for sweet-salty foundation, cool, light, and airy cream cheese, and a strawberry gelatin with all the strawberries, jammed between the layers. Combined, these ingredients create a dessert in which the salty, sweet, sour, and tangy flavours are in perfect harmony, a hometown favourite which is sure to impress your family and friends on your next potluck. Let's explore this delicious food right away!

Ingredients:

• 3 cups mini pretzel twists (about 6 ounces)
• 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. Crush mini pretzel twists in a food processor with sugar and melted butter. Press this mixture into a baking dish and bake until set.
2. Soften cream cheese in the food processor, then mix with whipped topping. Spread this mixture over the cooled pretzel crust and chill.
3. Dissolve strawberry gelatin in boiling water, then add cold water and sliced strawberries. Pour this over the chilled cream cheese layer and refrigerate until set.
4. Cut into squares and enjoy cold!

This recipe creates a delicious dessert with layers of pretzels, creamy filling, and fruity strawberry gelatin—a perfect treat for gatherings and celebrations!
