Betsy’s Pretzel Jello
Bottom/Pretzel Layer
2 2/3 cup crushed pretzels (we use the mini size ones)
3 Tbs. sugar
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
Combined and pat down covering a 9×13 pan. Bake at 350 for 10-15 min. Let cool.
Middle/Creamy Layer
8 oz. light cream cheese
1 cup sugar
1 tub Cool Whip *DO NOT use light or fat free Cool Whip
Combine cream cheese and sugar then add Cool Whip. Cover pretzel layer (now cooled) and seal edges so you can’t see any pretzels.
Top/Jello Layer
2 cups boiling water
1 large or 2 small sugar free strawberry Jello packs
1 qt/32 oz sliced frozen strawberries set in sugar
Pour Jello and thawed strawberries in boiling water. Let it cool just a bit then pour on top of first two layers. Put in fridge overnight to set.
