There are a few side dishes that I have eaten that I literally need to give them away or I WILL eat it ALL! Today I'm going to share this one with you from Brett's Grandma Long. I am really not a big fan of Jello. I don't like making it, and it's not my favorite thing to eat, but this is DELICIOUS. I did just make it for New Years, but sadly I have no pictures because it's gone:) Enjoy, and happy baking!
Jello-Pretzel Salad
Step 1-Crust:
1 cup finely crushed pretzels (about 4 cups whole pretzels put into a ziploc bag and beaten/rolled with a rolling pin)
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup melted butter
Stir together and then press crust into a 9x13 pan. Bake @ 350 degrees for 10 minutes. I stab it with a fork all over a little while after taking out of the oven so that the crust doesn't get too stiff. Cool completely.
Step 2 (while crust is baking) - Jello mixture
1 large (serves 8) raspberry jello mix
2 cups boiling water 1 cup cold water
1 pkg. frozen raspberries
Whisk the jello packet into the boiling water until dissolved and then add the cold water and raspberries. Stir and then put in fridge until somewhat jelled (about 30 minutes). If it doesn't seem to be jelling fast enough for you then put it in the freezer for about 10 minutes for a quick jell.
Step 3 (while jello cools) - Filling
8 oz. softened cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar
8 oz. cool whip
Mix and then smooth over the cooled crust. Spread the partially jelled jello on top of the cream cheese filling layer. Chill completely set.
Note: Strawberry Jello and frozen strawberries are also delicious!
