I adapted this recipe from one using strawberries and strawberry gelatin. The pretzels give the refreshing layered salad a nice crunch. It's a favorite in our family. —Peggy Boyd, Northport, Alabama

This is, without a doubt.....the bomb! You can't go wrong with this. No joke! I love it. I had it for breakfast!

I made this to bring to church and while the jello was firming up in the fridge, my little sister (6) happened to catch a glance of it and... unfortunately she couldn't keep herself from digging in. It didn't look quite as pretty when I brought it to church, but it was gone before everyone had gone through the line to get food! I would definitely make this again (but hide it so my lil sis stays out! :)

This is my new go to recipe for all my special occasions. I have experimented and used strawberries instead of oranges with strawberry gelatin and for Christmas this year I am going to substitute it with cherries and cherry gelatin. So far the oranges have been my favorite but we will see how it is with cherries. :-) The combination of the textures with the pretzels and the cool whip and the tart of the cream cheese all just fit together so perfectly. It doesn't last long at our house!

Update: I didn't realize it at the time, but I had erred in my sugar measurement. I've made this recipe several times now, and everything turned out fine.

I've been making the strawberry version of this for years--I don't know why I didn't think of trying a different flavor (for variety). This is so refreshing---could easily be served for dessert. The only issue I had was that the pretzel crust did not hold together well--it just fell apart when I served this. I am going to compare the pretzel crust here to the recipe I already have on file, and perhaps adjust the amount of sugar and/or butter. My family really enjoyed the orange flavor theme. I'm also going to try this using peach gelatin and peaches. Very versatile! Thanks!

This is so good! I always get lots of requests for this recipe when I share it at church or with friends. Those who like nuts but are allergic to them will appreciate the pretzel crust (a couple of friends thought it had pecans in it). I also use 5 teaspoons of sugar in the crust instead of 3.

I made this using pina colada flavored jello, which is only available in the summer, and it was fantastic! Everyone loved it and asked for the recipe.

Very tasty, love the orange gelatin/fruit layer. Was more dessert than sidedish, but very refreshing. Worth making!
