Sorry, I started at disolve.

Gotta move this computer because the sun is here most of the day and it is hard to read.

sounds wonderful.

sounds yummy, thanks for sharing the recipe with us

That recipe probley be good with some blueberries or some rasberries and maybe use some grahm crackers or vanilla wafers for the bottom crust

I've made this many times...the pretzels sort of turn into a "nutty" crust. The only thing I've found is to put it back into the frige for a while after the cream cheese layer..if you dont and pour the hot jello over...it sometimes makes the cheese layer rise into the jello. It is awsome..and doesnt stick around very long....:)

Yeah maybe let the jello get room tempture and then pour over the cream cheese but anyway it does sound very good
I remember my mom when I was little she would make this jello and mix it with ice cream and walnuts and mix them together it would come out like a parfeit it was really good just never watch her make it Iv'e only watched her make the important foods like the main course that is what im good at is cooking diners.

My one Son-In-Law makes a pretzel jello somtething like yours, don't know if the ingredients are the same. He makes it at Easter for a family get together.

I make this same Pretzel Jello Layered dessert. It is so good. I have tried it with raspberry jello and raspberries instead of the strawberries.....hard to believe but it is even better with the raspberries for our taste buds anyways.

This sounds like dessert, not salad!
Thanks for the timely post - I belong to a school staff lunch club and my turn to provide the meal is quickly approaching. They're going to get this, but I'll call it dessert. :-D

Well what ever you want to call it. it sounds really good it's, making my mouth water just thinking about it

I make this all the time for potlucks and it always disappears and gets rave reviews!! soooooooo good!!

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm good like cambells soup lol

This is just a wonderful dessert.

The reason you use pretzels (or bugles) is because you want the salty/sweet contrast. Graham crackers or cookie crumbs won't give you the same effect.

Completely cool the pretzel crust after it is baked.

Spread on the cream cheese layer and refrigerate so it gets as firm as it can. Be sure to spread it all the way to the edges so it touches the pan all around. Otherwise, your Jello may seep down under the crust and make it soggy.

Add the frozen strawberries (with juice) to the hot dissolved Jello and stir until the berries and juice completely melt and keep stirring until the Jello thickens and has consistency of raw egg white. Then pour it over the cream layer. It won't seep under the crust. It won't melt the cream layer and it will jell all that much faster. You will have success every time and it is luscious!

yummie i have to try that one day sound so good

If I make this on a Wednesday, will it still be good to eat on Friday?

I would think it would still be good on Friday, but my directions say to make it the day before and let it refrigerate overnight.
Can't you make it on Thursday? Perhaps you could bake the crust on Wednesday, wrap it well and set it aside until Thursday. You could probably also make the cream cheese filling on Wednesday and just keep it in a bowl until assembly sometime on Thursday.

Stop to think of it, on those few occasions when I did have leftovers, they were just as good the second day, so go ahead and make it Wednesday for Friday. Just make sure you spread the cream filling all the way to the edges of the pan to seal it.
I'd love to know how it turns out for you.

it should be still good should ok for 3 days in your frig just dont leave it any longer

Thanks so much for the storage answers. I have to provide lunch for the staff on Friday (we take turns) but I won't be home from work until after 10 p.m. on Thursday. I'd rather not be up all night making pretzel salad!

yeah i hear you there when i use to work i did the same when it came to pot lucks at work i cant work no more so i dont have to worrie about that anymore only on like thanks giving or christmas or easter or new years those are the only days i have to really worrie about now lol

just to let you know i love the deer reminds me of michigan in the woods where we lived very beutiful there during the winter i miss it a lot i live in california now so not very many nice sites here

Hey, you have wild hogs and turkeys in California; both of which my DH is jealous. He's on his way there for Easter and wishes he could go hunting!

Thank you for this recipe. I took it for lunch today and it was a huge hit. One woman was greatly excited because she had read about pretzel salad in a novel. Nobody had ever had it before. My DH is disappointed because none came back home.

it does sound very good i want to make it one day makes my mouth water just to think about

thanks

Yummy
