I had this salad first at the Opryland Hotel here in Nashville, Tennessee. It is so good that I eat it as dessert. The pretzels taste like nuts.
Pretzel Salad
CRUST
2 cups crushed pretzels
3/4 cup melted butter
3 tsp sugar
FILLING
1 (8 oz) cream cheese
1 cup sugar
1 medium size Cool Whip
TOPPING
1 (6 oz) box strawberry Jello
2 (10 oz) frozen strawberries
2 cups boiling water
Mix crushed pretzels, sugar, and melted butter.
Press into a 9 x 13 glass dish. Bake at 400 degrees F
for 8 minutes. Cool completely.
Mix together cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
Fold in Cool Whip. Spread on top of cooled pretzel
crust.
Dissolve Jello in boiling water, add frozen strawberries
(water will melt them) Let stand for 10 minutes.
Pour mixture onto cream cheese layer. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
*If you don't like strawberries, I'm sure you could substitute
another flavor/topping.
