  My family has enjoyed this for years. I recently lost my recipe and failed to remember proportions. Thanks for printing them again.

  I have made this delicious recipe for years. It has always turned out wonderful, receives great reviews and many requests for the recipe! I prefer a coarser chop on the pretzels (rather than totally crushed and use 2 2/3 c because of this). Do let it cool completely. Cream the softened cream cheese and sugar we'll before folding in the whipped topping. This makes it easier to spread. Be sure to seal all of the edges to the side of the pan and the partially set jello/strawberry mix will not soak into the other layers. Yummy!

  Always a favorite! I sometimes do raspberry as well.

  I used about 21/2 cups of pretzels to fit the 9x13 dish to get enough base to cover bottom of dish. I found it interesting that it only called for the boiling water to make the jello but it worked. The Jello box calls for two cups boiling and two cups ice cold water. My guess is person who commented they had too much jello followed recipe on Jello box and not this recipe. I sliced up frozen strawberries as I didn’t have pre-sliced and added them when not completely thawed to act as substitute for cold water and it worked. The jello doesn’t look as pretty as picture but that may be because I let it sit too long to gel in freezer.

  This came out wonderful and everyone enjoyed it. Very simple to make but I could not find the frozen sliced strawberries at any of our markets, so used fresh that I sliced up and added a touch of sugar to bring out the juice and added that to the Jell-O. Was very fresh tasting and will definitely make again.

  Recipe was easy! The hardest part was waiting on each step to chill. It fit PERFECTLY in a 9x13 pan. None left over at all. The grandkids loved it and I will definitely make again! I followed the instructions exactly EXCEPT my frozen strawberries were not sweetened. I did not add sugar and it was still wonderful.

  This recipe is great except it does not fit a 9 x, 13 x 2 inch pan. When I poured the gelatin mixture on top,, I had the jello mixture on the floor. Was not happy to be washing a sticky mess off my kitchen floor at 5:30 AM. Does anyone know of a source for a 4, 13,9 in pan.

  I used only half the sugar in the filling and it was absolutely delicious! Cool the crust thoroughly, and eat within a day of making this.

  My grandmother used to make this all the time - it’s so good! However, she used to have the strawberry’s in the middle, and the whipped cream mix on the top with (additional) crushed pretzel pieces on top of that. I’m so glad I found this.

  This was the sweetest thing I’ve ever eaten in my entire life. I could have completely skipped the sugar and it would have been fine. Unless you’re using unsweetened whipped cream and Jello, I promise you it’s going to be WAY too sweet for you. The consistency was also nothing like the above photo. You HAVE to let the pretzel mixture cool COMPLETELY before adding the filling or the whipped cream just melts and there’s no texture. I would even recommend putting it in the fridge to get super cold before putting the filling on it. I had a headache after eating this because of the sugar, so, like i said before, skip the sugar!!!
