Pretzel Salad or Dessert



It's a dessert, without a doubt.

I creamed the pretzels, butter, and sugar, put in a baking dish, and baked for precisely six minutes at precisely 350 degrees. Next, I mixed the cream cheese and more sugar. I folded in the cool whip, and spread this mixture on top of the pretzel 'crust.'

My heart sank back when I saw that this was a jello recipe. I followed the directions in the recipe: Boil water. Add to the jello mix. Mix well. Add cold water.

I put half package of frozen strawberries on top of the cream cheese recipe. They looked sparse, so I used the entire 16-ounce package.

I reluctantly poured the liquid jello on top of the yummy layers of pretzel crust, cream cheese mixture, and strawberries and put in the refrigerator to set.

I'm happy to say, it did jell and is pretty good. But it's sweet - definitely a dessert.
