I have always loved going to potluck dinners and eating the strawberry jello salad with the pretzel crust. However, I tried to make it myself and it was a disaster both times. When I came across this recipe on Pintrest, I knew I had to try it. It looked so easy and fail-proof. And since I'm putting in on this blog, that must mean it worked!
I did all the prep work the night before and then mixed it right before I served it. It was fabulous! I could've eaten the entire bowl!
The leftovers (if there are any) will last about one day in the fridge. Much longer than that and the crunch stuff gets soggy and the juice from the strawberries makes it watery.
- 1 cup pretzels, crushed
- ½ cup pecans, chopped
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup butter, melted
- 2 cups strawberries, diced
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 8 oz whipped topping
Instructions
- Mix together crushed pretzels, chopped pecans, brown sugar and melted butter.

- Fold in whipped topping.
- Before serving, stir the diced strawberries and sugared pretzels and pecans into the cream cheese mixture.
