Berry Pretzel Dessert

I can still remember the first time I had tried this dessert. I was at a family get together, eating- of course- and I nervously scooped out a slice, took a bite and melted! This stuff is so good.Crunchy, buttery salted crust. Creamy, smooth filling. Tart and  sweet berry topping. It really is a big hit with both kids and adults.

The first step is to make your crust. Start with your  pretzels and crush them into small pieces… you can crush them as small or big as you like. Toss with butter and bake to create a nice firm layer.

Whip up your cream cheese layer, and make the jello while the pretzels are cooling.

When I add the cream cheese layer over the pretzels I make sure to seal all the edges  nice and tight so the jello won’t seep down into the pretzels.

Let set in Jello for a few hours and its ready to serve!
