Raspberry Pretzel Salad
Report
Passing as a salad rather than a dessert in the Midwest, Raspberry Pretzel Jello Salad is sweet, salty, made with Jell-O, and topped with cool whip. It's a great make-ahead recipe that everyone will love!

Instructions
To make the pretzel crust:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, add crushed pretzels, butter, and sugar. Toss well to combine.
- Press into an un-greased 9-inch by 13-inch baking dish. Bake 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature.
To make the filling:
- In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Stir in whipped topping until combined. Spread over pretzel crust and refrigerate until chilled (at least 30 minutes).
- In a large bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir in frozen raspberries and chill until partially set, about 15 to 20 minutes. Carefully pour or spoon over cream cheese filling.
- Chill until firm, about 4 to 6 hours. Garnish with additional whipped topping and pretzels if desired.
Notes
- Pretzels: To crush pretzels, place in a zipper-top plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin or mallet. Or, place in a food processor and pulse until crushed.
- Whipped topping: One 8-ounce container of whipped topping contains about 3 cups. This recipe calls for 2 cups whipped topping. You can use the last cup for garnish, if desired. Whipped topping is a little more stable than fresh whipped cream (it sets better and lasts longer in the refrigerator).
- Yield: This recipe will make 12 or 16 slices of salad depending on how you slice it.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
- Make ahead: Raspberry Pretzel Salad is best when made at least 8 hours in advance so the layers have a chance to really set and chill.
