A sweet and salty plate of fabulous, that will add tons of goodness to any party or family cookout.  The combination of jello and cool whip, creamy and smooth and just a touch of crunch from the pretzels to make all these flavors work so nicely with every bite.

J-E-L-L-OOO yum!  Pretzel jello is one of the easiest recipes I have made and it’s lucky I made two, because it was devoured at our family party.  One of the best things about Pretzel Jello is it can be made with any flavor jello you like and will be a favorite side to any meal.  My Sister-In-Law had my whole family over for a birthday celebration and I brought this Pretzel Jello, and she and her Mom proceeded to eat it, and nothing else.  I could say they “loved it.”  

There is just something about jello, cool whip, and cream cheese on top of a crunchy baked pretzel crust that keeps everyone coming back for more.  No matter how full you are, you just can’t stop at one helping.  The best thing about this Pretzel Jello is that you can eat it with dinner and continue on into dessert.  Make this a fit-fabulous side or dessert with using whole wheat pretzels and sugar/splenda mix reducing the sugar and added calories.  The next time you need a fun, colorful, and oh so fabulous Jello, make it Pretzel Jello, you can’t go wrong. xoxo
