Strawberry Pretzel Dessert
"Revised! This is my sister-in-law, Rachel's recipe, she said this is her favorite! My mom made a similar version growing up, but with raspberries. I found a different version of this with less sugar in the crust so am updating accordingly."

We loved a version of this dessert when we were in college. I followed the recipe exactly but our whole extended family agreed that this has way too much sugar in the crust and not enough pretzel. Also, if you like a more crisp pretzel crust you may want to consider tweaking this recipe or looking for another. We did think that the filling and topping had good flavor. I will either try a different recipe or rework this one for next time. -
This is one of my favorite desserts when made with fresh raspberries! I have also made it using strawberries and bananas with strawberry-banana jello. -
Have been wanting to make a Strawberry Pretzel Dessert for a long time now and we were having our annual beginning of school pot luck so I thought this would be the time to do it. It turned out wonderful and I had tons of compliments on it. Many wanted the recipe. Thanks Baking Bunny, I'm sure I will make this again.

When I got married in 2001, I was completely unfamiliar in the kitchen. I grew up eating food from restaurants and a home cooked meal about once or twice a month. I stumbled around blindly the first few years, and my hubby had to try many awful creations...such as burnt chicken that was raw inside and carmels made from corn oil (instead of corn syrup). I have come a long way, however, and people love coming over to try my many new recipes, most getting rave reviews. Thanks to everyone for their recipes, I love to experiment!
