I love this salad! Jello is never a huge hit at Thanksgiving dinner, which is fine with me because I get the leftovers! I used pineapple juice in place of water but even if I hadn't, it still would have tasted great!

This was awesome. The first thing to go at the bbq potluck. I baked the pretzels in a pan and switched them over to a prettier dish for presentation purposes. Yummy!

I made this for a holiday bbq and everyone went crazy over it. The adults liked it just as much as the kids did. I followed the recipe exactly and didn't change anything.

This is one of my family's favorites that I have made for years. I use suger free jello and 1/2 the sugar in the cream chese. Today for Fathers Day I decided to do 12 individual ones so I used my ramekins . Follow the recipe, for the ramekins I used 1 Tbl of pretzel mixture, 1 Tbl of cream cheese mixture and fill to the top with jello. Had enough for a 9x9 dish to finish it off.

Love this dessert! I use raspberry jello and 1 bag frozen raspberries. Make sure that you seal off the cream cheese layer before pouring the berry-jello mix on top or it will seep through! Do this by making sure the cream cheese mixture is up against all sides of your dish and no holes or cracks are there for liquid to sneak through!!

delicious! I had a hard time getting the cream cheese mixture smooth - probably should have let the cream cheese get warmer.

I make this every year for thanksgiving. here are some modifications: Instead of strawberry I do raspberry Jello and frozen raspberries. They help cool down the jello. Do make sure that the jello is starting to set up before you put it over the cream cheese layer. I also like to add canned and mostly drained pineapple chunks to the cream cheese layer. I love the extra fruit. Everyone loves this and sadly, I only make it for thanksgiving. I should make it more often!

This was very good but the leftovers will become mushy. Great flavor.

We all love this dessert, but am I the only one that adds mini marshmallows to the cream cheese layer? Fold in a cup or so of the mini marshmallows and it really adds something special.

This is an old tried and true recipe that I misplaced. I was excited to find it listed here in a trifle dish. I'dve never thought of it! Made in trifle dish for a party-it worked perfectly. Many raves from attendees for presentation and taste :)!

this was yummy! i followed the recipe exactly but for some reason, my pretzels didn't harden at all. i baked for 9 minutes and then cooled in the fridge for a while and it was still not hardened at all. so i put it all back in a bowl, and added about a stick of melted butter to it, baked again for 8 minutes and then it hardened. dunno why that happened. i also used raspberry gelatin and fresh raspberries instead of strawberries. yummo

YUM! My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe. A few things - 1. Let the strawberry mixture sit for 15 minutes in your fridge in order to completely cool & not have the cream cheese come up. 2. The 9x13 pan was a bit small for all of the ingredients so next time I'm going to only use 1 1/2 C pretzels and 5/8 C butter so that we can have a thicker strawberry layer. Otherwise, we loved it!

Wow, Tastes wonderful! I didn't change a thing, it turned out perfect! I was confused weather to use sweetened strawberries, or non sweetened, since it didn't specify. I froze my own sliced strawberries which I lightly sweetened. I also like the crushed pretzel crust. I have had this before (someone else made it) with bigger pretzel chunks, I prefer them ground as in this recipe. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
