The recipe as is listed here is not correct. The original Jello recipe from Kraft Foods uses 12oz cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar (total), and 2/3 cup butter. I suggest you find the original at the Kraft website: http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/strawberry-pretzel-squares-53033.aspx

Good old classic dessert. Do as the other reviewers suggested... 1. "seal" the crust with the whipped cream cheese layer or it will sogg. 2. let jello cool way down in the fridge before pouring it over the top (I let it go till it was like a soupy jelly).

I loved this reciped when I was a kid. It is my favorite and this is about perfect! Do make sure you cover every inch of your pretzel crust so it won't get soggy. Also, when I did my strawberry topping I tossed the strawberries with the jello and got out my immersion blender, and chunked up the strawberries a bit. I knew my kid's would not like the huge pieces of strawberries, they devoured it this way! It seemed to take a bit longer to set up, but it was still delish!

Like the recipe, I used the water modification suggested (cut to 1 cup)and made sure the jello set some before pouring it on. However, there is a little too much sugar for me. Maybe I would cut back the sugar in the crust or use less than a full packet of jello for less sugar. Otherwise, it's good

Super simple and good! I used peach jello and used a combination of frozen strawberries and peaches and I mashed them with a potato masher as they cooked with the jello. Will make again.

awesome variations: use raspberries, or mixed berries with pomegranats seed. Try zesting a lime into the cream cheese filling. So good! I make this every holiday
