strawberry pretzel dessert

This has to be one of the easiest desserts to make. Trust me, If I make this anyone can.. lol This is a favorite in our family always around Thanksgiving-Christmas time, shoot I make it year round. One year, friends made this and added Vodka instead of Water (like jello shots) except in the dessert, it was AMAZING! Totally recommend this to anyone who loves strawberries!

  1. Hmmm… i would love to swap out the whipped topping for something a little more “human food grade” but other than that, this sounds delish!

  2. I pinned the photo and recipe for the Strawberry Pretzel dessert on Pinterest. It looks delicious. I have made something similar, but instead of pretzels, the recipe called for 3/4 of a cup of chopped pecans mixed with flour and an entire stick of butter. The crust is mixed right in a pie plate and then baked for 20 minutes on 350. You let the pie crust cool. The filling is 8 oz. of cream cheese and 8 oz. of cool whip and 3/4 to a cup of sugar. Then you can add a fruit pie filling on top. It’s sweet, easy and tastes great – just like I’m sure your recipe does. Thanks for sharing!

  3. What a sight for sore eyes, and a hungry tummy! I adore pretzels, and what a way to have them. This looks delicious – I want to make this for my next company!
