Strawberry Pretzel Salad Cups Irresistible Dessert Treat

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups crushed pretzels
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
• 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
• 1 cup strawberry gelatin
• 2 cups boiling water
• 1 cup cold water

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine crushed pretzels, melted butter, and brown sugar. Mix well until combined.
3. Spread the pretzel mixture evenly in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool completely.
4. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping until well combined.
5. Once the pretzel crust is cool, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the pretzel base.
6. In another bowl, dissolve the strawberry gelatin in 2 cups of boiling water, stirring until fully dissolved. Add the cold water and stir to combine.
7. Gently fold the sliced strawberries into the gelatin mixture, then pour this over the cream cheese layer, making sure to cover it completely.
8. Refrigerate the entire dish for at least 2-4 hours, or until the gelatin has set.
9. Once set, scoop the salad into individual cups or bowls for serving.
