Berry Pretzel Salad

Berry Pretzel Salad

This is so good!  My daughter could hardly believe that we would eat this and still have a dessert too:)

Layer 1

1 8oz bag Gluten Free Pretzels (I use Snyders)
3 Tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup melted butter

Crush the pretzels.  I use a food processor.  It's okay if you still have some chunks--they don't have to be complete powder.  Whatever your preference is.

Combine the crushed pretzels, sugar, and melted butter.  Press into a 9X13" baking pan.  Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.  Cool.

Layer 2

1 8 oz cream cheese
1 8 oz cool whip or sweetened whipping cream

Mix the cream cheese and cream together.  Spread over cooled crust.  Chill.

Layer 3

1 large package raspberry jello
16 oz frozen berry blend
1 can pineapple (do not drain)
2 cups hot water

Dissolve the jello completely in two cups of hot water.  Add the can of pineapple.  Then stir in the berries.  I buy a big bag at Costco so I am just guessing on the ounces.  You can add more or less depending on how concentrated with berries you like it.  I like a lot and use about 4 cups of berries.  Chill for about 30 minutes, then pour over cream mixture.  Chill for several hours.
